The definition of “accredited” is changed to mean approved by a regional accrediting organization recognized by the United States Department of Education. Documentation that a regional accredited Florida public or private university or college will accept a degree for transfer purposes will also be accepted for accreditation purposes. The definitions of “Bureau” and “Post Secondary Institution” are repealed because they are no longer used in the rule or the implementing legislation. The definition of “Applicable to fire department duties” is simplified to mean degreed courses that add value to the firefighter’s fire department employment; the definition of “employing agency’s certification” is amended to be consistent. The entity requesting reimbursement for payment of supplemental compensation to firefighters must meet the definition of “employing agency” set for in statute. Rules 69A-37.087 and 69A-37.088, F.A.C. are repealed and some of their parts are consolidated into other rules within the rule chapter. Forms incorporated within the various rules in the chapter are updated.
