Purpose


The purpose of the proposed amendments to this rule is to incorporate changes the Florida Legislature enacted in Section 1 of Chapter 2017-105, Laws of Florida. The amendments include adding two statute references to parallel s. 196.011(1)(b), F.S., which requires applicants to include social security numbers on the exemption application form, DR-501. The amendments include the title of the form for identification. Section 194.011, F.S., is added to the history notes to include the statute reference for subsection (4) of the rule. These changes will implement statutory amendments to allow certain totally and permanently disabled first responders to apply for a homestead exemption.
