This rulemaking is intended to update the rules to reflect recent statutory changes made to Section 112.324, Florida Statutes. The changes were made in Ch. 2024-253, Laws of Florida, and will become effective on October 1, 2024. In particular, the rules will be updated to reflect that a copy of a referral received by the Commission on Ethics will be transmitted to the respondent within 5 days of its receipt. Also, the rules will be updated to remove the requirement that six members of the Commission must find a referral to be legally sufficient before an investigation can be conducted, and will reflect that a referral can be investigated if the Commission's Executive Director finds its allegations legally sufficient.
