Purpose
The purpose of the proposed rule amendments is to update Chapter 59A-18, F.A.C., to conform to revisions in Chapter 400, Part IV, F.S., as amended by the 2005 Florida Legislature. A new rule is added to establish minimum criteria for nurse registry comprehensive emergency management plans and plan updates as required in Section 400.506(15) and (16), F.S. In addition, nurse registry application forms referenced in the rules are updated to conform to statutory revisions and a separate renewal application was developed to reduce the amount of information submitted by nurse registries. Other revisions are made to update the rules to current statutory requirements, update addresses, and clarify requirements for advance notification of licensee relocation and health statements.
