- Proposed Rules (4)
-
The proposed rule incorporates updated screening and assessment instruments utilized by the Department of Elder Affairs' Comprehensive Assessment and Review for Long Term Care Services (CARES) assessors, and makes necessary conforming changes in Section 58A-1.010, Florida Administrative Code. The proposed effective date for the rule is July 1, 2013.
-
The purpose of this amendment is to address the changes to Section 581.083, F.S., regarding the cultivation and transport of non-native plants, algae and blue-green algae in plantings greater than two acres and update forms and other minor editorial revisions within the rule chapter. The effect is to improve the permitting process associated with the introduction or release of plant pests, noxious weeds, arthropods and biological control agents. The reflected changes will reduce regulatory burden without compromising plant protection duties and responsibilities assigned by Florida Statutes.
-
The purpose and effect of the proposed rule is to amend Forms DC6-118, Inmate Promotional Request; DC6-193, Order Modifying Sentence; and DC3-234, Order Modifying Sentence and Placing Defendant on Probation. Form DC6-118 is being amended to change some of the form’s formatting, to include a check box so the inmate can simply indicate whether they received a high school diploma or GED prior to their incarceration, to clarify that the Institutional Classification Team and Review Board of Extended Day Program will be reviewing information contained on the form, and to change the form to reflect that the inmate should send the form to the Extended Day Sergeant. Forms DC6-193 and DC3-234 are being amended to update language in order to be consistent with the current language used in the order of supervision conditions.
-
The proposed changes to Chapter 64E-6, Florida Administrative Code, incorporate changes in chapter 381.0065 from the 2010 and 2012 legislative session. The changes also incorporate recommendations from the septic tank industry. The proposed changes have been reviewed by the Technical Review and Advisory Panel.
- Petitions and Dispositions Regarding Rule Variance or Waiver (1)
-
On February 08, 2013 the Division of Hotels and Restaurants received a Petition for an Emergency Variance for Subparagraph 61C-1.004(2)(a), Florida Administrative Code, Paragraph 61C-4.010(7), Florida Administrative Code, Paragraph 61C-4.010(6), Florida Administrative Code, and Section 6-402.11, 2009 FDA Food Code from Hola Cuban Cafe located in Fernandina Beach. The above referenced F.A.C. addresses the requirement that at least one accessible bathroom be provided for use by customers and employees. They are requesting to share the bathrooms located within an adjacent establishment under a different ownership for use by both customers and employees.
The Petition for this variance was published in Vol. 39/31 on February 14, 2013. The Order for this Petition was signed and approved on February 20, 2013. 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 bathrooms located within The Palace Saloon (Big Shef Inc., BEV5500058) are maintained in a clean and sanitary manner and are provided with cold running water under pressure, soap, approved hand drying devices, and are available during all hours of operation. The Petitioner shall also ensure directional signage is installed within or outside the establishment clearly stating the location of the bathrooms. If the ownership of The Palace Saloon (Big Shef Inc.) changes, an updated, signed agreement for use of the bathroom facilities is required immediately.
