The purpose of the rule revisions is to conform the rules to changes made to Chapter 400, Part IV, Florida Statutes, by the 2005 Florida Legislature in Chapter 2005-243, Laws of Florida; to make improvements to criteria for emergency management plans; to add a retention period for personnel records; to remove the requirement for training homemakers and companions for consistency among programs; to replace the schedule for the frequency of periodic licensure surveys due to budget constraints; and to clarify the financial schedules needed for applications for changes of ownership and for applications for renewal of licenses when there is evidence of financial instability. The effect will be updated rules that conform to state law; an updated licensure fee for the two-year license based on the same amount per year; a revised renewal licensure application that collects annual patient admissions; one less financial schedule to be completed for change of ownership applications and an additional financial schedule for renewal applicants with evidence of financial instability; a uniform emergency management plan format for home health agencies that includes planning for patients in residential facilities; no requirements for training homemakers and companions consistent with the registered homemaker companion services; and the addition of a one-year retention period for personnel records.
