Purpose


Chapter 2011-142, Laws of Florida, transferred Florida Communities Trust ("FCT") from the Department of Community Affairs to the Department of Environmental Protection ("DEP"). As a result of that transfer, FCT transferred its rules to Chapter 62. Now, FCT needs to engage in rulemaking for its procedures, specifically appraisals and environmental site assessments, to conform to DEP procedures. These revisions are necessary to achieve a more consistent, effective, and streamlined approach to implement the FCT program.
