Purpose


The purpose is to get comments and suggestions from nurse registries and the public for revisions to rules in Chapter 59A-18, FAC. The intent is to update the rules to conform to law changes in 400.506, FS by the Florida Legislature in Chapter 2014-142 and Chapter 2012-160, Laws of Florida, and to reduce the regulatory burden for nurse registries. Also, the revisions will remove the rules that are now in state laws and in the 59A-35, FAC, pertaining to licensing procedures and background screening. In addition, the nurse registry licensure application form will also be updated.
