PURPOSE AND EFFECT: The purpose of the proposed rule amendments is to repeal rules determined to be no longer necessary.

SUMMARY: As a result of the comprehensive rule review required by Executive Order 11-01, the Lottery has conducted a complete overhaul of its personnel program and has determined that the Lottery’s personnel program shall be set forth by policy rather than by rule except for those personnel rules specifically mandated by statute. The above rules are a part of the body of Lottery personnel rules determined to be no longer necessary.

SUMMARY OF STATEMENT OF ESTIMATED REGULATORY COSTS AND LEGISLATIVE RATIFICATION:

The Agency has determined that this will not have an adverse impact on small business or likely increase directly or indirectly regulatory costs in excess of $200,000 in the aggregate within one year after the implementation of the rule. A SERC has not been prepared by the agency.

The Agency has determined that the proposed rule is not expected to require legislative ratification based on the information expressly relied upon and described herein: Repealing these unnecessary rules will not have an adverse impact or impose regulatory costs.

Any person who wishes to provide information regarding a statement of estimated regulatory costs, or provide a proposal for a lower cost regulatory alternative must do so in writing within 21 days of this notice.

RULEMAKING AUTHORITY: 24.105(9)(j) FS.
LAW IMPLEMENTED: 24.105(19)(d) FS.

IF REQUESTED WITHIN 21 DAYS OF THE DATE OF THIS NOTICE, A HEARING WILL BE SCHEDULED AND ANNOUNCED IN THE FAW.
