Summary
Rules 64E-26.002, 64E-26.003 and 64E-26.004, F.A.C., are being repealed as there is insufficient authority in Section 381.006(6), F.S., to define terms and adopt requirements related to water supplies and food service, and because the requirements in these sections duplicate rules of the department and other state agencies. Additionally, references to building construction, occupant space, plumbing fixture design and ratios, lighting, equipment, and maintenance requirements found in Rules 64E-26.005 through 64E-26.0013, F.A.C., are also repealed as the department has no authority to adopt rules in these areas for detention facilities. Requirements currently listed in the above referenced rules that are supported by statutory authority, but which are not currently addressed in other agency rules, will be retained and consolidated into one rule section.
