Summary


This is mandatory rulemaking. The legislature has provided in Section 497.162, F.S., that rules “shall” be adopted on the subject matter in question. This rulemaking action implements changes to Section 497.162, Florida Statutes, as enacted by the Florida legislature in Chapter 2010-125, Laws of Florida. The rule relates to required training in communicable diseases which must be obtained by certain non-licensed staff of certain licensed establishments. The rule REDUCES regulatory burdens upon affected licensees, in that it narrows the category of licensee staff who must have the required communicable disease education, and it increases the time the licensee has to have the affected staff obtain the required communicable disease training.
