Purpose


The intent is to update Chapter 59A-18, F.A.C. to conform to law changes in Section 400.506, F.S., by the Florida Legislature in Chapter 2014-142 and Chapter 2012-160, Laws of Florida, and to reduce the regulatory burden for nurse registries. Also, the revisions will remove the rules that are now in state laws and in the Chapter 59A-35, F.A.C., pertaining to licensing procedures and background screening. In addition, the nurse registry licensure application form and comprehensive emergency management plan form will also be updated.
