- Notices of Development of Proposed Rules and Negotiated Rulemaking (9)
-
The purpose of this rule amendment is to incorporate by reference the Florida Medicaid Prescribed Drug Services Coverage, Limitations and Reimbursement Handbook, updated May, 2011. The handbook updates the requirements for reimbursement for prescribed drugs.
-
The agency is proposing to amend the rule to remove outdated references and previously repealed requirements, correct language that conflicts with statutory language, and remove language that duplicates statutory language.
-
The proposed rule is required to comply with Section 414.0652, F.S. The rule adopts and implements drug testing as a condition of eligibility for the Temporary Cash Assistance Program.
-
Implements Chapter 2011-40, Section 46, Laws of Florida, which requires the Division of Elections to adopt rules to prescribe the manner in which political parties, to include minor political parties, may have their filings with the Department of State canceled.
-
The amendments to this rule implement legislative changes to Section 100.371, Florida Statutes, brought about by Chapter 2011-40, Section 23, Laws of Florida, relating to the length of time petition signatures are valid and the requirements for supervisors of elections to verify initiative petitions.
-
Implements the provisions of Chapter 2011-40, §§ 13 and 51, Laws of Florida, which changed the candidate oath for candidates seeking to qualify for office. The forms incorporated by reference in the rule have been amended to reflect the changed oath.
-
This rule action will REDUCE costs to regulated persons. This rulemaking action implements changes to Sections 497.380(15), 497.604(1), 497.376(2), and 497.602(5), Florida Statutes, as enacted by the Florida legislature in Chapter 2010-125, Laws of Florida. Prior to enactment of the changes referred to above, each funeral home and direct disposal establishment had to have each professional staffer post their license inside the establishment in a conspicuous location; the license had to be an original and there had to be a photo less than 2 years old attached to the license. The statutory changes allow the photo to be up to 6 years old, and, if a staffer member works at more than one location, they can post a copy of their license at the 2nd and subsequent locations (they do not need to obtain additional original licenses from the Division (which requires payment of a fee). Licensees thus save money and trouble due to less frequently having to replace photos, and not having to obtain extra originals of licenses issued to them.

The purpose of the conference call was to address the request of Ray and Associates to extend the deadline for applications for the position of Commissioner of Education. The request was received after close of business on May 26, 2011, and the Board needed to take action in order to continue the search for candidates for the position of Commissioner of Education. The application period was scheduled to end on May 25, 2011, however, the recommendation of the search firm was that the period be extended to June 6, 2011. The present Commissioner’s resignation was submitted effective early June 2011. In order to timely complete the search for the Commissioner of Education, an emergency meeting was necessary to address the request of the search firm. The emergency meeting was also necessary because the State Board meeting to interview applicants for the Commissioner was scheduled for June 1, 2011.
The action of the Board was to grant the request of Ray and Associates to extend the deadline for applications for the position of Commissioner of Education to June 6, 2011 with interviews to be conducted on June 20th at the Tampa Airport Marriott. The Board also agreed that an additional emergency meeting should be scheduled to select an interim Commissioner of Education.

- Notices of Petitions and Dispositions Regarding Declaratory Stat (4)
-
Steven M. Sobel, O.D.
; The Board will address this petition at its next meeting on July 20, 2011.
-
Paul Salone; The Notice of Petition for Declaratory Statement was published in the Florida Administrative Weekly, Vol. 37, No. 16, on April 22, 2011. The Petition sought the Commission’s interpretation of Rule 11B-27.007, F.A.C., and Section 943.13(4), F.S., and asks if the bar to criminal justice professional certification presented by a felony conviction can be overcome by a judicially issued Certificate of Relief from Disabilities issued by a court in New York. The Commission considered the petition at it regularly scheduled business agenda meeting held in Ocala, Florida, on May 19, 2011. The Commission’s order, filed May 19, 2011, denied the requested interpretation of Rule 11B-27.007, F.A.C., and Section 943.13(4), F.S., by the Petitioner. The Petitioner sought to have the Commission interpret Rule 11B-26.007, F.A.C., and Section 943.13(4), F.S., in such a way as to make his New York felony conviction for Criminal Sale of Controlled Substance no longer a disqualification for certification as a criminal justice professional in Florida. Petitioner urged that the judicially rendered New York Certificate of Relief from Disabilities operates in the same manner as an executive full pardon in Florida. In Florida, only an executive full pardon will permit a candidate with a felony conviction to potentially become a certified officer. The Commission found that Florida case law is clear. Only an executive full pardon will serve to permit a convicted felon to be considered for a criminal justice professional certification. The Commission found that the judicial Certificate of Relief from Disabilities issued by the New York court in Petitioner’s case is not the equivalent of an executive full pardon issued by the Governor of Florida because the Certificate of Relief from Disabilities is not a pardon. The Certificate of Relief from Disabilities cannot overcome the bar to certification faced by the Petitioner in both Rule 11B-27.007, F.A.C. and Section 943.13(4), F.S.

Thomas Kopf, Unit Owner, In re: Lauderdale Tennis Club, Inc., Docket No. 2011020393
; The Division declined to issue a declaratory statement because the division may not issue a statement without competent substantial evidence, including a complete, current set of governing documents upon which to base its decision; or because it cannot issue a statement when it would affect the rights of third parties who are not parties to this proceeding.
