Purpose


The purpose and effect is to amend existing rules to conform to and implement Chapter No. 2023-28, Laws of Florida, which was signed into law on May 2, 2023. The legislation will require applicants and licensees, beginning July 1, 2023, and upon application and license for renewal, to attest, under penalty of perjury whether the applicant or licensee is acting in compliance with newly enacted subsections 560.1115(1) and (2), Florida Statutes. The amended rules will incorporate a new form, which will serve as the attestation of compliance with the newly enacted subsections; will require applicants and licensees to submit the attestation of compliance form to the Office, which may be provided electronically; and will provide sanctions for persons who violate the newly enacted subsections.
