Purpose


The purpose of the proposed amendments to Rule 12A-1.097, F.A.C. (Public Use Forms), is to adopt, by reference, changes to Form DR-5, Application for Consumer’s Certificate of Exemption. Changes to this form allow for automatic renewals of expiring exemption certificates, clarify and simplify documentation requirements for applications, provide that the Department will confirm exemptions using publicly available information when possible, bring the forms into compliance with current administrative procedures, update contact information for the Department, and allow the form to be accessed electronically through the Department of State’s website.
