This is the Final Public Hearing on the adoption of proposed Rules 69W-600.013, 69W-600.0131, and 69W-600.0133, Florida Administrative Code, published on September 26, 2008, in Vol. 34, No. 39, of the Florida Administrative Weekly. A Notice of Change for Rule 69W-600.0133 was published on November 14, 2008, in Vol. 34, No. 46, of the Florida Adminstrative Weekly. The rules relate to securities regulation. The proposed rules prohibit the misleading use by any person of senior and retiree designations while also providing a means by which the Office may recognize the use of certain designations which have been accredited. The rules are based on the model rule adopted on March 20, 2008, by the North American Securities Administrators Association (NASAA) regarding the use of senior-specific certifications and professional designations.
