Rule 69W-600.0133, F.A.C., is being proposed to prohibit the use of a senior specific certification or designation in connection with the offer, sale or purchase of securities or the provision of advice as the advisability of investing in, purchasing or selling securities, either directly or indirectly or through publications or writings, or by issuing or promulgating analyses or reports relating to securities, that indicates or implies that the user has special certification or training in advising or servicing senior citizens or retirees, in such a way as to mislead any person shall be a dishonest and unethical practice in the securities business in violation of Section 517.161(1)(d) or 517.161(1)(h), Florida Statutes. The Rule provides examples of misleading designations, including use of certifications unearned, nonexistent or self-conferred titles and use of titles that imply a certification or designation the person does not have. Also included in paragraph (1)(d) of the Rule with this category are use of certifications or designations from an organizations that: 1) is primarily engaged in the business of instruction in sales and /or marketing; 2) does not have reasonable standards or procedures for assuring the competency of its designees or certificants; 3) does not have reasonable standards or procedures for monitoring and disciplining its designees or certificants for improper or unethical conduct; or 4) does not have reasonable continuing education requirements for its designees or certificants in order to maintain the designation or certification. In subsection (2) of the Proposed Rule, a rebuttable presumption is created that organizations accredited by the American National Standards Institute, National Commission for Certifying Agencies or any Organization on the U.S. Department of Education list entitled “Accrediting Agencies Recognized for Title IX Purposes” will not be disqualified under the terms of subparagraphs (1)(d)1. through 4. In determining whether words constitute a certification or professional designation indicating or implying a special expertise in advising or servicing senior citizens, use of the words such as “senior,” “elder,” “retirement,” combined with such words such as “certified,” “registered,” “chartered,” and like words will be considered. See text of Rule for complete index. Job titles within an organization are excluded.

Currently, financial institutions may offer debt cancellation products pursuant to an Order of General Application that was issued by the Office of Financial Regulation on February 1, 2006. During the 2008 regular session, the Florida Legislature passed HB 347, which, among other things, codifies this authority in statute. HB 347 was signed into law (Chapter 2008-75, Laws of Florida) on May 28, 2008, and will take effect on October 1, 2008. The new law provides authority for financial institutions and their subsidiaries to offer debt cancellation products, and charge fees for such products, in connection with the loans, leases, and similar extensions of credit made by the financial institutions and their subsidiaries pursuant to ss. 655.947 and 655.954, F.S., and the rules and orders of the Commission and the Office of Financial Regulation. The proposed rules implement the new law by setting forth standards that will apply to debt cancellation products offered by financial institutions and their subsidiaries. The purpose of these standards is to ensure that financial institutions and their subsidiaries offer debt cancellation products consistent with safe and sound financial institution practices, and subject to appropriate consumer protection. The proposed rules apply to all contracts and agreements for debt cancellation products entered into by financial institutions and their subsidiaries in connection with extensions of credit they make, purchase, or assume. The proposed rules are based on and consistent with federal regulations set forth in 12 C.F.R. Part 37.

The St. Johns River Water Management District (District) proposes to amend the definition of listed species in its rules governing the issuance of environmental resource permits (ERP) to update the rule and statutory references concerning listed wildlife and plant species, and to specifically reference the bald eagle, which is protected under a federal statute known as the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act. Under the District’s existing rules, the bald eagle is included in the definition of listed species by reference to a previous Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commision (FWC) rule identifying threatened species; however, the FWC has recently amended its rules such that the bald eagle is no longer classified as a threatened species by the FWC. Specifically, the District proposes to amend the definition of listed species in subsection 40C-4.021(20), F.A.C., and in Section 2.0 Applicant’s Handbook: Management and Storage of Surface Waters. Table 12.2.7-1 in the Applicant’s Handbook would also be amended to include the bald eagle under a new category (other) and remove it from the category of threatened species. If these amendments are adopted, the protections afforded by the District’s rules to wildlife species that are now classified as endangered, threatened or species of special concern would continue to be afforded the bald eagle which is no longer classified by FWC as a threatened species, effective May 15, 2008.

Section 215.5586, F.S., created the MySafeFlorida Home (MSFH) Program. This program provides grants to certain homeowners for hurricane damage mitigation work to their homes. This rule establishes procedures for application and award of grants to non-low income grant applicants in the MSFH program; sets forth Department interpretation of certain grant eligibility criteria that are specified only in general by Section 215.5586 F.S.; and sets forth the Department’s interpretation as to the intended effect of changes made by the Legislature to Section 215.5586, F.S., in its 2007 regular session, concerning homeowners previously issued grants or previously advised by the Department that they were eligible for a grant. Both low income and non-low income persons may receive grants, but low-income applicants are subject to different requirements. This rule applies only to non low-income applicants. Subsection (6) of 215.5586, F.S., provides rulemaking authority to adopt rules to implement Section 215.5586, F.S., and carry out the duties of the Department pursuant to the Section 215.5586, F.S.

Section 215.5586, F.S., establishes the MyFloridaSafe Home Program to provide grants to encourage residential property owners meeting specified criteria to improve the structural integrity of their residential structures to make them less vulnerable to hurricane damage. In most cases, replacing one set of code compliant hurricane shutters with another set does not meet the statutory mandate that improvements funded by MySafeFlorida Home grant be used to make structures less vulnerable to hurricane damage. However, if a medical condition makes an existing shutter system too difficult to deploy, its replacement with a more easily deployed system may reduce hurricane damage vulnerability. The proposed rule provides a procedure for homeowners with a medical condition which impairs shutter deployment to obtain a grant to replace shutters.
