- Notices of Development of Proposed Rules and Negotiated Rulemaking (2)
-
The purpose of the proposed amendment to Rule 1A-32.001, F.A.C., is to replace references to the criteria for registration in the Society of Professional Archaeologists, an organization that no longer exists, with the Secretary of the Interior’s Professional Qualifications Standards for archaeology, and also to replace references to the “Code of Ethics,” “Standards of Research Performance,” and “Institutional Standards” of the defunct Society of Professional Archaeologists with the “Principles of Archaeological Ethics” of the Society for American Archaeology. For Rule 1A-32.003, F.A.C., the proposed rule amendment clarifies that only museums, universities, colleges or other historical, scientific or educational institutions or societies that subscribe to the “Principles of Archaeological Ethics” of the Society for American Archaeology will be considered as valid research applicants for Chapter 1A-32 Archaeological Research Permits issued by the Bureau of Archaeological Research. For Rule 1A-32.005, F.A.C., the proposed amendment incorporates by reference Archaeological Research Permit – 1A-32 Application (Form HRE4404-13), and provides information on where to obtain a copy of this form.

The purpose of this rule development is to establish penalty procedures by the State Board of Education (SBOE) for assessing a fine to Florida College System (FCS) institutions and Law Enforcement Agencies (LEAs) that fail to report child abuse as required by s. 39.205(10), F.S. FCS institution administrators and LEAs are required to report information received about child abuse that occurred on institution property or at an event sponsored by the institution to the Florida Department of Children and Family Services. This rule also defines the term “administrator” and the term “law enforcement agency.” The effect of this rule is that if an administrator of an FCS institution or an LEA is informed of child abuse and does not report it, the institution will be fined $1,000,000 by the SBOE. FCS institutions will be allowed to challenge the SBOE’s determination that there was a knowing and willful failure to report this information.

The department has sent notices to all property owners located at least 300 feet on either side of US 41 within the project limits and others expressing interest in the study.
