Summary


Rules 59A-33.003; 59A-33.004 and 59A-33.005, F.A.C., involve the licensing process for initial, renewal and change of ownership licenses and have been superseded and substantially replaced by statute, Part II, Ch. 408 FS, the Health Care Licensing Procedures Act and rules, Chapter 59A-35, F.A.C., created under that act. Rule 59A-33.010, F.A.C., provides regulation over the cessation of business and the return of licenses that have been suspended or revoked. The Health Care Licensing Procedures Act and rules supersede and substantially replace the need for this rule. Rule 59A-33.011, F.A.C., provides an exemption process by which a chief financial officer may review billings in licensed clinics as required by Section 400.9935(1)(g), F.S. The statute in (1)(g) follows the statutory exemption that is sufficiently specific without rule implementation. Moreover, the Agency knows of no licensed clinic that currently utilizes the rule exemption. The exemption will still exist by following the requirements of the statute.
