Rulemaking is needed to account for a recent statutory change to Section 112.3215(8)(d), Florida Statute, by Chapter 2023-49, Laws of Florida. This change modified how the Commission on Ethics may dispose of complaints or investigations resulting from complaints or random audits of lobbying reports. It specifies these types of proceedings may be dismissed at any stage of disposition if the Commission determines that it would not serve the public interest to proceed further. Currently, Rule 34-12.750(3) requires these matters to proceed to a probable cause hearing, and states these types of matters can only be dismissed based on a finding of no probable cause. The rulemaking would update this portion of the Rule to account for the statutory change.
