- Proposed Rules (3)
-
The purpose and effect of the rule amendment is to implement Section 948.09, Florida Statutes, by creating a rule that allows an offender a reduction in the cost of supervision by paying the entire remaining balance in one payment prior to the end of the offender’s supervision.
-
The purpose of this rule amendment is to establish how the graduation requirements as specified in Section 1003.428, F.S., “General requirements for high school graduation; revised” apply to students who withdrew from the K-12 system and subsequently enroll in adult high school to earn an adult standard high school diploma. This rule as amended will establish a standardized policy for determining graduation requirements on an individual basis, including course requirements and state assessments. This rule revision will also ensure students receiving a high school diploma through adult education are held to the same requirements as a secondary student and will have the skills and knowledge required to be successful in the workplace and to enter postsecondary education. The effect is a rule consistent with law.
-
The purpose of the rule amendment is to identify necessary revisions to conform with changes made by the 2012 Legislature to Section 1002.45, Florida Statutes. Changes include the addition of a new provider qualification to perform an annual financial audit and clarification of statutory requirements related to public disclosure of specified information, detailed curriculum and student performance accountability plan and submission of quantified student learning gains to demonstrate prior successful experience. In addition, requirements previously contained in the Virtual Instruction Program Application for Provider Approval, Form VSP-02, are added within the rule. The effect will be a rule aligned with current law.
- Petitions and Dispositions Regarding Rule Variance or Waiver (2)
-
On October 25, 2012 the Division of Hotels and Restaurants received a Petition for an Emergency Variance for Paragraph 61C-1.004(1)(a), Florida Administrative Code, Section 5-203.13, 2001 FDA Food Code, Paragraph 5-202.11(A), 2001 FDA Food Code and Paragraph 61C-4.010(5), Florida Administrative Code from Centerplate Portable Food Cart #1 located in Orlando. The above referenced F.A.C. addresses the requirement that each establishment have an approved plumbing system installed to transport potable water and wastewater and that each establishment have facilities for manually washing, rinsing and sanitizing equipment and utensils and an area for food preparation and storage. They are requesting to install holding tanks at portable handwashing sink and share warewashing, food preparation and food storage areas with another licensed food service establishment on the same premise and under the same ownership.
The Petition for this variance was published in Vol. 38/63 on November 01, 2012. The Order for this Petition was signed on November 07, 2012 and after a complete review of the variance request, the Division finds that the application of this Rule will create a financial hardship to the food service establishment. Furthermore, the Division finds that the Petitioner meets the burden of demonstrating that the underlying statute has been achieved by the Petitioner ensuring the wastewater holding tank for the handwash sink is emptied at a frequency as to not create a sanitary nuisance; potable water provided must come from an approved source and be protected from contamination during handling. The Petitioner shall also ensure that the handwash sink is provided with hot and cold running water under pressure, soap, an approved hand drying device and a handwashing sign. The Petitioner shall also ensure that the three-compartment sink, food preparation and storage areas within Centerplate @ Phase III Kitchen and Centerplate @ PHSDR V Kitchen (SEA5807961 & SEA5811092) are maintained in a clean and sanitary manner and all sinks are provided with hot and cold running water under pressure and available during all hours of operation. If the ownership of Centerplate @ Phase III Kitchen or Centerplate @ PHSDR V Kitchen (SEA5807961 & SEA5811092) changes, a signed agreement for use of the shared facilities is required immediately.

Florida Atlantic University. The petitioner is seeking a variance from subparagraph 64E-5.502(1)(a)6, F.A.C., which prohibits individuals from being exposed to radiation from an x-ray machine for training, demonstration or other purposes unless there are also medical requirements and a proper prescription has been provided.

This workshop is being held to afford interested persons the opportunity to express their views concerning the location, conceptual design, social, economic and environmental effects of Financial Project ID: 212379-3, otherwise known as the University Boulevard Bridge. Please join the Florida Department of Transportation for a public workshop to discuss proposed plans for the University Boulevard Bridge in Jacksonville, Duval County, Florida. The project will replace the existing 2-lane bridge which carries University Boulevard over the Arlington River. The new bridge will be constructed on the existing alignment except for a slightly straighter alignment at the connection to Cesery Boulevard. The new bridge will provide 2-lanes for traffic and will add bike lanes and a wide sidewalk on each side. The construction sequence requires a temporary bridge to be built on the north side of the existing bridge. Traffic will be switched to the temporary bridge while the old bridge is removed and the new bridge is constructed. For the final phase of construction traffic will be switched to the new bridge and the temporary bridge will be removed. Construction is expected to begin between Fall 2013 and early 2014 with approximate construction time of 2 1/2 years. Public participation is solicited without regard to race, color, sex, age, religion, national origin, disability or family status.; November 19, 2012, 4:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.; Arlington Congregational Church, 431 University Boulevard, Jacksonville, Florida
