    RULE NO.:RULE TITLE:

    6M-9.115Procedures and Criteria for Approval of School Readiness Plans

    PURPOSE AND EFFECT: To revise the procedures and criteria for approval of early learning coalitions’ school readiness plan.

    SUMMARY: Procedures and criteria for approval of early learning coalitions’ school readiness plan.

    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 office's economic analysis of the adverse impact or potential regulatory costs of the proposed rule does not exceed any of the criteria established in s. 120.541(2)(a), F.S. This rule aligns the requirements of the school readiness plan with legislative changes made during the 2018 session.

    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.
