Normally agencies file rule certification packets in person with the Florida Administrative Code and Register. Staff reviews the packets and advises the filer if the packet is complete and accepted. This same process will occur, except that the filer will send the packet electronically, wherein staff will still review and advise via email confirmation if the packet is complete and accepted. The filer will then send an original and a copy of the packet no later than the next business day. The Department of State is aware of the rulemaking procedures prescribed by Section 120.54, Florida Statutes, but due to the immediate and evolving nature of the state of emergency, regular rulemaking is too lengthy in both adoption and effect in that further limiting of person-to-person contact is required now.
