Summary


To align with changes made by House Bill (HB) 1035 during the 2023 Legislative session, which amends Section 1012.59(3), F.S., the proposed change incorporates testing fee waiver eligibility requirements for retired first responders. To align with Section 1012.59(1)(b)-(c), F.S., and to align with the retake fee policies for the Florida Teacher Certification Examinations (FTCE) in Rule 6A-4.0021, F.A.C., the second proposed change decreases retake registration fees for the FELE such that the retake fee for the full battery of subtests does not exceed the fee for the initial registration and the retake fee for each subtest is prorated based on the number of subtests within the examination.
