Purpose


The purpose of the proposed rules is to implement: (1) Section 273.02, F.S., which requires the Chief Financial Officer to adopt rules regarding the requirements for recording of state-owned tangible personal property in the state’s financial system and for the periodic review of such property for inventory purposes; and (2) Section 273.055, F.S., which requires custodians to maintain records to identify property items for disposition in accordance with rules issued by the Chief Financial Officer. The Auditor General's Office had been responsible for issuing such rules; however, Chapter 2006-122, Laws of Florida, transferred those responsibilities to the Chief Financial Officer. Chapter 2006-122, Laws of Florida, also created Section 273.025, F.S., which requires the Chief Financial Officer to adopt rules regarding the requirements for the capitalization of property that has been recorded in the state’s financial system.
