Purpose


Proposed rule amendment to delete and replace all language in subsection 69L-6.012(15), F.A.C., and add a new paragraph 69L-6.012(15)(a), F.A.C. The proposed new language in subsection 69L-6.012(15), F.A.C., provides that when a corporation or limited liability company named on any Certificate of Election to be Exempt remains dissolved or inactive after 90 days from the date of its dissolution or its change in status, the Certificate of Election to be Exempt is immediately revoked by operation of law. Additional language also provides that when a person named on a Certificate of Election to be Exempt no longer meets the issuance requirements of the certificate, such certificate is revoked by operation of law. New paragraph 69L-6.012(15)(a), F.A.C., provides guidance regarding a corporation or limited liability company’s right to petition the Department to review the revocation of its Certificate of Election to be Exempt or to file an appeal pursuant to Section 120.68, F.S. The proposed rule amendment advances the statutory mandate to facilitate the self-execution of workers’ compensation law pursuant to Chapter 440, F.S.
