The Joint Administrative Procedures Committee (JAPC) is required to review administrative rules and advise agencies concerned of its findings. This charge applies to existing as well as proposed rules. JAPC notified the Bureau of Emergency Medical Services that the law implemented for Rule 64E-2.032, F.A.C. appeared to contravene the law implemented, Section 401.27, F.S., in certain parts. This rule was repealed and replaced with the definition of “operate”. This definition did not satisfy JAPC’s objections. The purpose of this rule revision is to provide clarification for the EMS community regarding the Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity (COPCN) requirement for licensure and satisfy JAPC’s objections. After receiving comments at the public hearing the Bureau of EMS has elected to present this proposal at one more rule workshop to finalize the COPCN language. In addition, portions of the workshop will be to collaborate with subject matter experts to do the following: – develop and establish rules for the educational and training criteria for the certification and recertification of 911 emergency dispatchers (ED) – develop and establish certification & recertification applications – develop and establish by rule a procedure for biennial renewal certification – develop and establish by rule a procedure for the initial certification of 911 ED who have documentation of at least 5 years of supervised full-time employment as a 911 ED since 1/1/2002 – develop and establish rules for renewing a certificate that has been inactive for 1 year or less – develop and establish rules for renewing a certificate that has been on inactive status for more than 1 year
