PURPOSE AND EFFECT: To repeal Rules 61-34.002 and 61-34.003, F.A.C.

SUMMARY: The proposed rulemaking repeals Rules 61-34.002 and 61-34.003, F.A.C., which removes the definitions related to the Division’s mediation process and the Division’s procedures for mediation. The Department has determined that these rules are unnecessary or are duplicative of current Florida law.

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 statement of estimated regulatory costs or if no SERC is required, the information expressly relied upon and described herein: the economic review conducted by the Agency.

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.
