- Proposed Rules (11)
-
The purpose of the proposed rule amendment is to establish regulations, bag limits and possession limits for taking ducks, geese and coots in conformance with federal regulations. The effect of the proposed rule amendment would decrease the bag limit for canvasbacks from two to one, establish a September teal season with a bag limit of six, increase the bag limit for the September wood duck and teal season from four to six (no more than two may be wood ducks), modify the dates of the September wood duck and teal season, establish a possession limit of three day’s bag limit for September duck seasons, modify the dates of the first phase of the Canada goose season, and modify the dates of the falconry season for ducks, geese and coots.
-
The purpose of this rule development is to create a no-cost shellfish endorsement available to commercial harvesters of hard clams who complete the appropriate training course in sanitary shellfish harvest and post-harvest practices.
New national guidelines were recently adopted by the Interstate Shellfish Sanitation Conference requiring food safety training relating to shellfish harvest and post-harvest practices. This training requirement must be tied to the issuance and renewal of a license in order to comply with the guidelines. Shellfish exports from states that are determined not to be in compliance may not be accepted by other states. In Florida, these requirements apply to the harvest of hard clams. Creating a no-cost shellfish endorsement on the saltwater products license and making it available to commercial harvesters of hard clams who have completed an approved training course within the last year would satisfy the guidelines and bring Florida’s commercial harvesters of wild shellfish into compliance with the national requirements.
The effect of this rule will be to satisfy national requirements designed to ensure public health and safety, and to make certain that Florida’s shellfish industry continues to be able to export its products nationwide.
-
The purpose of this rule amendment is to modify the open season for recreational harvest of bay scallop so that the season will begin on a Saturday each year. This change will increase business and economic opportunities in the counties where harvest is allowed and create predictability in the season opening date. A predictable season opening date is better for harvesters and businesses alike. This change will open the season by no more than six days earlier than the opening currently established in rule, depending on the year, and so is expected to have minimal effects on the bay scallop population.
The effect of this change would be to amend 68B-18.005, F.A.C. (Statewide Open and Closed Seasons and Areas for Harvesting Bay Scallops), to open the bay scallop recreational harvest season on the Saturday before July 1, unless July 1 falls on Saturday, in which case the season would open on July 1. The season for the recreational harvest is open through September 24 each year.
-
The purpose of this rule development is to create a no-cost shellfish endorsement available to commercial harvesters of oysters who complete the appropriate training course in sanitary shellfish harvest and post-harvest practices.
New national guidelines were recently adopted by the Interstate Shellfish Sanitation Conference requiring food safety training relating to shellfish harvest and post-harvest practices. This training requirement must be tied to the issuance and renewal of a license in order to comply with the guidelines.

Creating a no-cost shellfish endorsement on the saltwater products license and making it available to commercial harvesters of oysters who have completed an approved training course within the last year would satisfy the guidelines and bring Florida’s commercial harvesters of wild shellfish into compliance with the national requirements.
The effect of this rule will be to satisfy national requirements designed to ensure public health and safety, and to make certain that Florida’s shellfish industry continues to be able to export its products nationwide.
-
The purpose and effect of the proposed rule is to add the definition of Crisis Intervention Training; to add the definition of Qualified Mental Health Professional; to require the inclusion of certain de-escalation information on the video of an organized use of force involving inmates who are classified as S-2 or higher; to amend Form DC6-230; to require de-escalation efforts be made to prevent an organized use of force on inmates classified as S-2 or higher; to designate an inmate’s refusal to relinquish control of the cell’s food flap/cell port cover as an organized use of force subject to certain requirements; to allow for the use of non-deadly force to reasonably restrain an inmate to permit the administration of necessary mental health treatment; to require a Warden or designee to verify the narrative on Form DC6-230 regarding the reasons for authorizing an organized use of force; to amend Form DC6-232; to require that following a medically necessary use of force that Form DC6-232 be attached to Form DC6-230 for review by the Warden or Duty Warden; and to remove the requirement that Form DC2-802 be maintained in personnel files.
-

-

-
