- Proposed Rules (9)
-
The board proposes this rule amendment to update examination requirements.
-
The board proposes the rule amendment due to high volume of petitions for variance/waiver. There is no evidence it has an impact on fraud prevention.
-
The purpose of the amendment is to delete forms incorporated into other rules.
-
The purpose is to repeal Rules 6A-1.039 and 6A-1.0391, F.A.C. The effect is to remove two rules from the Florida Administrative Code that no longer have rulemaking authority.
-
Department of Health, Board of Massage Therapy

The purpose of the amendment to rule 6A-3.0141 is to require school bus operators within the state to meet the medical examination requirements of federally regulated commercial drivers specified in Form MCSA-5876, Medical Examiner’s Certificate, instead of the Florida School Bus Operators Medical Examination Report for Commercial Driver Fitness Determination (Form ESE 479). Form ESE 480, Dexterity Test for School Bus Driver is incorporated by reference for districts to report dexterity results. Since 1986, the medical examination requirements for school bus operators within the state have been substantially the same as those established by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration for federally regulated commercial drivers. The effect would require Florida school bus operators to continue to adhere to the same medical examination requirements as federally regulated commercial drivers with one exception. Authority to waive federal requirements that allow the medical examiner to specify bus operators with Skill Performance Evaluation Certificates/limb waiver and/or Diabetes and Vision exemptions meet 49 CFR s. 391.41, medical examination requirements, will not be granted. Rule 6A-3.0151 is being proposed for repeal. The content of this rule will be superseded by implementation of rule 6A-3.0141 and is no longer necessary.
-
The purpose of this amendment is to revise the current definition of the principles of professional conduct for the education profession in Florida. The revisions incorporate significant portions of Rule 6A-10.080. The effect will be a repeal of Rule 6A-10.080 and a rule aligned with Florida Statutes.
-
The rule implements the statewide articulation agreement of Section 1007.23, Florida Statutes, which facilitates the transfer of credit across Florida educational entities. The purpose is to insert provisions regarding Florida’s 2+2 system of articulation: to clarify that provisions in the rule indicating a student with an associate in arts degree from a Florida public postsecondary institution shall be granted admission to an upper division program at a public postsecondary institution do not prevent a public postsecondary institution from denying admission or continued enrollment based on an applicant’s past misconduct; to clarify transfer guarantees for students with courses completed after award of the associate in arts degree; and to update the Articulation Coordinating Committee Credit-by-Exam Equivalencies list. The effect is to align the rule with institution standard admission practices and statutory articulation provisions and to expand credit-by-examination course equivalencies.
-
The purpose and effect of this amendment is to revise and adopt Next Generation Sunshine State Standards (Florida Standards) for Mathematics, Access Points to Next Generation Sunshine State Standards (Florida Standards) for Mathematics and Access Points to Next Generation Sunshine State Standards for Science as described below.

On January 14, 2016, the District's Governing Board issued SFWMD Order No. 2016-0002-DAO-ROW to Palm Beach County Roadway Production Division (Application No. 15-0224-1). The petition for waiver was received by the District on November 17, 2015. Notice of receipt of the petition requesting the waiver was published in the Florida Administrative Weekly, Vol. 41, No. 226, on November 20, 2015. No public comment was received. This Order provides a waiver of the District's criteria to allow a proposed linear park project consisting of a free-span pedestrian bridge, informational kiosk, bike rack, native palm trees, concrete path, rip-rap bank stabilization and existing guardrail within the L-10 right of way; Section 33, Township 41 South, Range 37 East; Palm Beach County. Specifically, the Order grants a waiver from Rule 40E-6.011(4)&(6), Fla. Admin. Code, and the Basis of Review for Use or Occupancy of the Works or Lands of the District, incorporated by reference in Rules 40E-6.091(1), Fla. Admin. Code, which governs the placement of permanent and semi-permanent above-ground structures within 40 feet of top of canal bank with works or lands of the District. Generally, the Order sets forth the basis of the Governing Board decision to grant the waiver as follows: 1) the proposed improvements will not interfere with the District's current ability to perform necessary construction, alteration, operation, and routine maintenance activities; and 2) the Order granting a waiver from the subject rule is based upon a substantial hardship.
-
variance or waiver filed by Bernard Alexander Greaux, D.C. The petitioner is seeking a waiver or variance of Rule 64B2-13.004(1) and (2), Florida Administrative Code, which requires that for the purpose of renewing a license, an applicant must demonstrate to the Board that he or she participated in at least forty (40) classroom hours of continuing chiropractic education during the past two years. Only those classroom hours earned at Board approved continuing education courses or under the provisions of this rule are acceptable.
