PURPOSE AND EFFECT: The purpose and effect of the proposed rule amendment will be to repeal rules identified during the comprehensive rule review required by Executive Order 11-01 as duplicative, unnecessarily burdensome, or no longer necessary.

SUMMARY: Although Rule 62-769.900, F.A.C., is authorized by Section 376.305(6) and 376.3072, F.S., it is not mandated by statute and there will be no adverse consequences if it is repealed. The rule was created to provide clarification to the regulated public, but it is not necessary.

OTHER RULES INCORPORATING THIS RULE:

Rule 62-769.800(3)5 and 62-769.800(4)(b), F.A.C.

EFFECT ON THOSE OTHER RULES:

Rule 62-769.800(3)5. and 62-769.800(4)(b), F.A.C. No effect on repealing Rule 62-769.900, F.A.C., as these other rules are scheduled for repeal.

SUMMARY OF STATEMENT OF ESTIMATED REGULATORY COSTS: The section being repealed is for forms that are no longer required or necessary. For the public’s convenience, the remaining optional forms are being maintained on the Department’s website. Thus, there are no costs associated with the repeal of this section. Therefore, the proposed rule is not expected to require legislative ratification pursuant to subsection 120.541(3), F.S. Any person who wishes to provide information regarding the statement of estimated regulatory costs, or to provide a proposal for a lower cost regulatory alternative, must do so in writing within 21 days of this notice.
