64E-13.004: Standards

NOTICE OF CHANGE – The Florida Department of Health announces a notice of Proposed Rule Development was published in the Florida Administrative Weekly on July 30, 2010 (Vol. 36, No. 30) which indicated a workshop to which all persons are invited.

DATE AND TIME: October 18, 2010, 10:00 a.m. – 12:00 Noon (Rescheduled from August 9, 2010 in Room 215T)

PLACE: 4042 Bald Cypress Way, Room 225Q, Tallahassee, Florida

GENERAL SUBJECT MATTER TO BE CONSIDERED: As a result of changes to Section 381.006(16), Florida Statutes (F.S.), brought about by the signing of House Bill 5311, the Department of Education (DOE), in consultation with the Department of Health (DOH), is required to develop rules for public and private schools. DOE has indicated that it will take some time before they are able to address this issue, and have asked DOH to continue to use the current rule (Chapter 64E-13, Florida Administrative Code, School Sanitation), on an interim basis with several modifications. Therefore, the purpose of this rule is to repeal rule language identified by the DOE. The effect will be that public and private schools will no longer have to comply with the requirements that are removed. This workshop will be held to address school sanitation in public and private schools.
