Purpose


The purpose and effect of this rule is to align the rule with statutory changes made during the 2010 legislative session. Chapter 2010-6, Laws of Florida, amended Section 63.0422, F.S., and Section 409.175 to require all prospective and licensed out-of-home caregivers to complete a firearms safety acknowledgement form to be used by child-placing agencies during an adoption home study that requires all prospective adoptive applicants to acknowledge in writing the receipt of a document containing solely and exclusively the language provided for in s. 790.174 verbatim. Chapter 2010-158, Laws of Florida, repealed Section 409.1663, F.S. and the department no longer has the statutory authority to implement the provision of this law.
