Purpose


The purpose and effect of the rule amendment to 61M-1.002 (Claims Procedures) is to designate a specific timeframe within which installers and mobile home owners must redeem vouchers received from the Florida Mobile Home Relocation Corporation. Currently, there is no specific timeframe or deadline and, as such, the Florida Mobile Home Relocation Corporation must track and budget for all unredeemed vouchers in perpetuity. The addition of a specific timeframe within which vouchers must be redeemed will allow the Florida Mobile Home Relocation Corporation to better measure its future financial obligations. The Florida Mobile Home Relocation Corporation is also revising FORMS 1001, 1002, 1003, 1004, 1005, 1006, 1007, 1008, 1009, and 1010. The purpose and effect of the form revisions is as follows: (1) to obtain additional information from applicants; (2) to correct a clerical error on FORM 1001 which conflicts with Rule 61M-1.002 (Claims Procedures) by giving applicants the option of submitting a signed contract with an installer with their application for relocation expenses; (3) to revise FORMS 1003 and 1004 to give additional notice to installers and mobile home owners that vouchers must be redeemed within a specific timeframe; and (4) to make other minor grammatical changes and revisions for clarity.
