The Office of Tourism, Trade, and Economic Development has developed the proposed rules and corresponding forms in consultation with representation from Enterprise Florida, Florida Department of Revenue, the Agency for Workforce Innovation, and Florida House and Senate Staff. Agency and legislative staff reviewed the forms incorporated into the rules, and the rules were drafted with Office and outside counsel in accordance with the direction provided in the forms. Such process is fair since a cross section of interested agencies have been involved along with staff involved in drafting the legislation. Additionally, the rules provide that any final agency action made under these rules is subject to Chapter 120, Florida Statutes.
