To implement the provisions of Chapter 2016-3, Laws of Florida.

These new rules, changes and deletions are intended to amend, modernize and streamline the rules and forms that govern the profession of surveying and mapping in the state of Florida. These proposed changes are necessary as the fundamental criteria for which a surveyor’s work is judged in this state has evolved from Minimum Technical Standards (MTS) to Standards of Practice (SOP) in the last few years. In addition, these changes also seek to remove obsolete language that no longer applies to the profession and remove outdated verbiage that applies to technology no longer deployed in the profession as advances have been made in that area. Also the proposed definitional changes in these rules look to more accurately reflect currently accepted practices and procedures in the profession. Finally, these proposed changes seek to provide a waiver of fees for the initial registration of our honorably discharged veterans and spouses.

On March 20, 2017 the Division of Hotels and Restaurants received a Petition for an Emergency Variance for Subparagraph 3-305.11(A)(2), 2009 FDA Food Code, Section 3-305.14, 2009 FDA Food Code, Section 6-202.15, 2009 FDA Food Code, Section 6-202.16, 2009 FDA Food Code, Paragraph 61C-4.010(1), Florida Administrative Code, and Paragraph 61C-4.010(6), Florida Administrative Code from Ximena's Food Truck Services LLC located in Clearwater. The above referenced F.A.C. addresses the requirement for proper handling and dispensing of food. They are requesting to dispense bulk time/temperature control for safety foods from an open air mobile food dispensing vehicle.
The Petition for this variance was published in Vol. 43/56 on March 22, 2017. The Order for this Petition was signed and approved on March 30, 2017. 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 that each pan within the steam table is properly covered with an individual lid; the steam table is enclosed within a cabinet with tight-fitting doors, and is protected by an air curtain installed and operated according to the manufacturer’s specifications that protects against flying vermin or other environmental contaminants; all steam table foods must be properly reheated for hot holding at approved commissaries and held hot at the proper minimum temperature per the parameters of the currently adopted FDA Food Code; and steam table food is to be dispensed by the operator with no customer self-service. The Petitioner shall also strictly adhere to the operating procedures and copies of the variance and operating procedures are to be present on the MFDV during all periods of operation.
