The proposed changes are necessary to conform to new state law in Section 101.62, Florida Statutes, as amended by s. 7 of Chapter 2010-167, Laws of Florida. The new law specifies a timeframe for compiling and simultaneously uploading to the Division of Elections electronically absentee ballot request information for an upcoming primary or general election. Previously, the law was silent as to when that process had to begin so the Division set the time parameter at 45 days before an election to correspond with the timing of absentee ballot mail-outs. Once adopted this revision will supersede the emergency rule (1SER10-1) that had to be adopted (effective July 1, 2010) since regular rulemaking could not be completed prior to the effective date of the new law. The proposed revisions to Rule 1S-2.043, Florida Administrative Code, contain most of the same provisions that appear in the emergency rule and reflect the current procedures in place. The proposed revisions also clarify that all request information including standing requests are to be included for the primary and general election file upload. There are also some technical corrections to a statutory cross-references.
