- Notices of Development of Proposed Rules and Negotiated Rulemaking (14)
-
The Board proposed amending the rule to lower the fee for delinquent status licenses, in compliance with Section 456.036(7), Florida Statutes.
-
This rule amendment specifically permits the Office of the Ombudsman to issue an interim report prior to the actual election event recommending that an election be cancelled where the pre-election procedure was fatally flawed. The rule amendment will provide flexibility and will save associations the time and expense of waiting until the election has occurred to address fatal flaws in the process. The rule amendment also highlights the advisory role of the Office of the Ombudsman and clarifies that the Ombudsman properly observes the election, but does not affirmatively direct the operation of the election. This change is consistent with the recently issued opinion of the Attorney General (AGO 2005-53, Sept. 22, 2005) wherein it is concluded that the authority of the Office of the Ombudsman is primarily advisory in nature.
-
The purpose of this proposed rule is to keep the subject matter of Emergency Rule 65AER05-3 in effect without interruption for the provision of the State Temporary Recovery Assistance Program (STRAP) benefit to eligible families residing in Rural Areas of Critical Economic Concern. The State Temporary Recovery Assistance Program provides a non-recurrent cash assistance diversion payment of $1,000 to meet the needs of families residing in Rural Areas of Critical Economic Concern (as defined in Section 288.0656(7), F.S.) that have experienced persistent adverse economic impact on their core industry(ies) as the result of natural phenomena and disaster. The areas must also have been federally declared as disaster areas two or more times in the past six months and be experiencing persistent adverse economic impact on their core industry(ies) as evidenced by increased unemployment claims, small business losses, and other adverse economic conditions resulting from natural phenomena and disaster.

The purpose of other changes is to clarify the rules.
