The Division of Elections is aware of the rulemaking procedures prescribed by Section 120.54, Florida Statutes. That process requires advance notice to the public of intended rules and the opportunity to submit comments on the intended rule, prior to the agency’s adoption of the rule. The time period for general rulemaking prevents the timely amendment and adoption of Rule 1S-2.042, F.A.C., so that statutorily-mandated rules can apply to ongoing registration activities conducted by third-party voter registration organizations pending the normal rulemaking process. In the interim, the provisions of this emergency rule, which adopts the text of Proposed Rule 1S-2.042, F.A.C., based upon comments received at Rule 1S-2.042’s rule development workshop, will ensure that the Division of Elections, supervisors of elections, and organizations will be able to comply with the requirements of law. The Department of State has filed Notice of Proposed Rule for Rule 1S-2.042, F.A.C.; however, a prior interim measure, Rule 1SER11-01, will expire before Rule 1S-2.042, F.A.C., can be adopted. This emergency rule does not renew Rule 1SER11-01 as it contains significant changes to the rule and its incorporated forms; however, this emergency rule is necessary as a temporary measure to ensure compliance with current law until Rule 1S-2.042, F.A.C., is adopted.
