The purpose of the proposed rule revision is to reflect changes in law that now allow the Secretary of State in lieu of the Elections Canvassing Commission, to order recounts for federal, statewide, and multicounty races.

a permanent waiver of subsection 11B-27.00212(14), F.A.C., from DeLand Police Department.

This is a CORRECTION to the Notice of Hearing published in Vol. 37, No. 27, July 8, 2011, in the Florida Administrative Weekly. The correction reads as follows:
The Agency is scheduling a hearing in Tampa for the purpose of encouraging input from the public on an amendment to Rule 59G-4.130, F.A.C., which revises the Florida Medicaid Home Health Services Coverage and Limitations Handbook, update September 2011. The handbook was revised to comply with changes to Section 409.905(4), F.S. Changes to the handbook include requiring prior authorization for all home health visits (skilled nursing and home health aide services), private duty nursing, and personal care. The ordering physician cannot be employed by or under contract with the home health service provider that is rendering the services and must have provided an examination or medical consultation to the recipient within 30 days preceding the request for services. The ordering physician’s National Provider Identifier, Medicaid Provider Number, or medical license number must be written on the order for services and the prior authorization request. In addition, the update includes numerous policy clarifications and the addition of mandatory forms to assist providers and recipients in their efforts to submit the required documentation.

The purpose of this public workshop is to hear comments on the disaggregation of Rules 6A-6.0902 and 6A-6.0903, F.A.C., into five separate rules for finer clarity regarding the requirements for identification and placement of an English language learner (ELL), exit criteria of an ELL, the provisions of the annual English language proficiency assessment, requirements of extension of services, and post reclassification of an ELL. It is proposed that the time period for completing an initial assessment of English language proficiency in Reading and Writing be shortened. The requirement for former English language learners to be assessed on the annual English language proficiency assessment is clarified. The timing and requirements for extension of ESOL services beyond three years are clarified. Parental rights with respect to removal of a student from a language arts instructional program are clarified and the Standards for Student Exit from the ESOL Program are modified.; August 4, 2011, 5:00 p.m.
