    RULE NO.:RULE TITLE:

    19-8.010Reimbursement Contract

    PURPOSE AND EFFECT: The State Board of Administration of Florida, Florida Hurricane Catastrophe Fund, seeks to amend the rule listed above to implement Section 215.555, F.S.

    SUMMARY: The rule is being amended to adopt the 2015-2016 Reimbursement Contract, including Addenda and an Optional Amendment. In addition, obsolete material is being removed.

    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 Reimbursement Contract meeting the requirements set forth in Section 215.555, F.S., must be adopted annually pursuant to Section 215.555(4) and (17)(b), F.S. Upon review of the proposed changes to the upcoming Contract Year’s Reimbursement Contract, which is incorporated into Rule 19-8.010, F.A.C., Reimbursement Contract, the State Board of Administration of Florida has determined that the preparation of a Statement of Estimated Regulatory Costs is not necessary and that this rule does not meet the statutory threshold for ratification by the Legislature. The changes to this rule also do not directly or indirectly have an adverse impact on economic growth, private sector job creation or employment, or private sector investment, business competitiveness, or innovation or increase regulatory costs, including any transactional costs, in excess of $1 million in the aggregate within 5 years after the implementation of the rule.

    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.
