PURPOSE AND EFFECT: The Agency proposes to repeal Rules 59B-13.002; .003; .004; .005; and .006, F.A.C., related to health plan indicator data and reporting requirements. Language needed from these rules has been consolidated into a single rule within Rule Chapter 59B-13 making these rules unnecessary.

SUMMARY: Rules 59B-13.002; .003; .004; .005; and .006, F.A.C., are related to health plan indicator data and reporting requirements. Language needed from these rules has been consolidated into a single rule within Rule Chapter 59B-13 making these rules unnecessary.

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: A SERC has not been prepared by the agency. For rules listed where no SERC was prepared, the Agency prepared a checklist for each rule to determine the necessity for a SERC. Based on this information at the time of the analysis and pursuant to section 120.541, Florida Statutes, the rule will not require legislative ratification.

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.
