Purpose
Section 633.022, Florida Statutes, was amended by Section 51, Chapter 2010-176, Laws of Florida, to require licensed fire equipment dealers and permittees to take 16 hours of continuing education every two years instead of 32 hours every four years. The due date for the hours was changed from every four years on the anniversary of initial licensure to the renewal date of December 31, 2011 and every odd numbered year thereafter. The purpose of the rule is to comport with statute and provide a transition mechanism.
