This rule is proposed as a new rule to implement statutory requirements under sections 559.554 and 559.730, Florida Statutes. The purpose and effect of the proposed new rule is to specify the procedures to be followed and the documents to be provided to the Office by an applicant for Consumer Collection Agency Registration in disclosing any pending criminal charges and all criminal matters in which a control person of the applicant has pled guilty or nolo contendere, or was convicted or found guilty. The proposed new rule also specifies the classification of crimes by the Office, the specification of time periods for which an applicant is disqualified from registration with the Office based upon the classification of crimes, the effect of multiple crimes on the disqualifying period, and the aggravating and mitigating factors to be considered by the Office in determining the period of disqualification from registration.
