The Department is seeking public input and information regarding managing entities or a similar model for the counties of Brevard, Seminole, Orange, and Osceola.
During the 2008 session, the Florida Legislature passed House Bill 1429, amending Section 394.9082, F.S., authorizing the Department to implement Behavioral Health Managing Entities. These entities are defined as Florida corporations exempt from taxation under s. 501(c)(3) that contract with the Department to manage the daily delivery of behavioral health services (i.e. substance abuse and mental health services). The legislative intent of the amendment to implement behavioral health managing entities is to promote improved access to care and service continuity, and to provide more efficient and effective delivery of substance abuse and mental health services by creating a management structure.

- Notices of Petitions and Dispositions Regarding Declaratory Stat (6)

ny C. Apfelbeck, Fire Marshal/Building Official, City of Altamonte Springs; The first amended question is whether steel joists, as defined in the Florida Building Code, are included in the definition of “light-frame truss-type construction” in paragraph 69A-60.0081(2)(a), F.A.C. The answer is no, because the definition does not limit steel joists to either light gauge or repetitive framing members. The second question and third questions ask whether the local authority have authority to enforce Rule 69A-60.0081, F.A.C. The answer is yes. Both the implemented legislation and Section 633.121, Florida Statutes, authorize enforcement of Rule 69A-60.0081, F.A.C., by the local authority in that the reference to the State Fire Marshal in Section 633.161, Florida Statutes, is not limiting language, but authorization for the local authorities to utilize the penalties therein.

City of Belleair Beach, Florida; The first question posed by the petition is a general question regarding the Florida Fire Prevention Code (“Code”) requirements for fire pumps and standpipes in condominiums and does not include the requisite specific facts and information concerning the Petitioner’s actual circumstance. Thus, the question cannot be answered in this Declaratory Statement. The second question is whether the local authority having jurisdiction is authorized to approve, in this case, the substitution of a fire hydrant for a fire pump in a condominium. The answer is that the local authority may grant such approval if the alternative provides equal or better protection than the requirements of the Code. The third question is whether a specific ordinance in question is sufficient to provide adequate enforcement authority for provisions of the Code relating to fire pumps and fire standpipes. The answer is that a local ordinance is unnecessary for this purpose in that Section 633.025, Florida Statutes, provides the enforcement authority for the Code. The fourth question concerns the ability of the local jurisdiction to enact ordinances that are more protective than the Code. The answer is that local governments having fire protection responsibility can enact stricter requirements as long as they follow the procedures set forth in statute.
