Purpose


The purpose of the proposed rule is to implement portions of recommendations proposed by the Governor’s Assisted Living Facility Workgroup, recommendations from members of the public received in rule workshops, as well as rule recommendations developed by the Assisted Living Facility Negotiated Rulemaking Committee. Such negotiated committee recommendations were the consensus product of the individuals designated to represent the interests of entities and persons affected by the rule. In addition to implementing these recommendations, the proposed rules were developed to address statutory changes enacted in Part II, Chapter 408 and Part I, Chapter 429, Florida Statutes, regarding the regulation of assisted living facilities.
