Purpose


Section 520.994, F.S., authorizes the Commission to require the electronic submission of any form, document, or fee, if such rules reasonably accommodate technological or financial hardships. Rule 69V-85.006, F.A.C., currently requires electronic filing of documents and fees through the Office’s Regulatory Enforcement and Licensing System, and sets forth procedures for obtaining a hardship exemption from these requirements. The proposed rule amendments simplify the process of requesting a hardship exemption. In addition, the rule amendments set forth the types of technological or financial hardships that will enable a person to qualify for an exemption.
