SUMMARY: The Agency proposes to repeal physical plant requirements for Mobile Surgical Facilities effective July 1, 2018.

SUMMARY OF STATEMENT OF ESTIMATED REGULATORY COSTS AND LEGISLATIVE RATIFICATION:

The Agency has determined that the proposed rule is not expected to require legislative ratification based on the statement of estimated regulatory costs or if no SERC is required, the information expressly relied upon and described herein: The Agency has determined that no SERC is required and that no legislative ratification pursuant to subsection 120.541(3), F.S. is required based upon the Agency’s review of information at the time of analysis and the preparation of a checklist for each rule to determine the need for the creation of a SERC.

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.
