Purpose


On June 20, 2014, Bill CS/HB 7095 became effective upon its signing by the Governor and created section 288.11625, F.S. Section 7 of the Bill, now law, authorizes the Executive Director of the Department of Economic Opportunity (DEO) to adopt emergency rules pursuant to sections 120.536(1) and 120.54(4), F.S., in order to implement section 288.11625, F.S. All conditions required by sections 120.536(1) and 120.54(4), F.S., have been deemed met by the adoption of the Bill. Therefore, emergency action is required and the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity must immediately implement Rule 73AER14-1.
