Purpose


These rule amendments are intended to modify the rules to meet the Joint Administrative Procedures Committee objections. No agency may lease a building or any part thereof unless prior approval of the lease conditions and of the need therefore is first obtained from the Department of Management Services. See, Section 255.25(2)(a), F.S. This rule amendment corrects subsections 60H-1.003(3), 60H-1.017(2), and 60H-1.022(2), F.A.C., which currently permit agencies to enter leases without receiving active approves by the Department of Management Services. Also this rule amendment corrects subparagraph 60H-1.015(1)(b)5., F.A.C., to ensure that extensions are approved by the Department of Management Services when in the best interest of the state. See, Section 255.25(3)(b), F.S.
