- Notices of Development of Proposed Rules and Negotiated Rulemaking (10)
-
The purpose of the amendment to the rule is to authorize for use by state universities and agencies a form that captures more accurate and detailed information for developing proper insurance ratings and premiums for buildings insured by the State. The current Form 850 is inadequate for present and future needs. The current Form 850 is authorized by paragraph 69H-1.003(1)(a), F.A.C.
-
The agency is proposing this rule amendment to remove the ambulatory exception provision upon recommendation of the State Consumer Health Information and Policy Advisory Council. This change will require that all ambulatory facilities report regardless of low patient volume. This amendment will also modify existing ambulatory data element codes to align with recent revision in the CMS Health Insurance Claim Form (UB04) and its electronic equivalent. The amendment deletes all ICD-10-CM references due to delayed national implementation and the Agency’s inability to receive an ICD-10-CM format. Additional revisions are amended for clarification.
-
The agency is proposing this rule amendment to modify existing inpatient data element codes to align with recent revision in the CMS Health Insurance Claim Form (UB04). The proposed inpatient amendment will incorporate a new P7 data element to explicitly flag inpatient admissions from a hospital’s emergency department. The amendment deletes all ICD-10-CM references due to delayed national implementation and the Agency’s inability to receive an ICD-10-CM format. Nursery Level I, II, and III Charge data elements are modified to include acceptable revenue codes previously omitted in error. Additional revisions are amended for clarification and correction.
-
The Commission intends to amend the current rule to incorporate revised forms into the rule.
-
The purpose of this rule development is to comply with the requirement in Section 1003.57(3)(d), Florida Statutes, that the Department of Education adopt by rule procedures for written notification to school districts regarding the placement of students with disabilities in private residential care facilities by the Department of Children and Family Services, the Agency for Persons with Disabilities, and the Agency for Health Care Administration; to incorporate services to children with disabilities, ages birth through two; and to update references and ensure accuracy of content. The effect will be a rule that accurately reflects all current requirements related to contractual arrangements between school districts and nonpublic schools and delineates the obligations of the relevant parties, including school districts and state agencies responsible for placing students with disabilities in private residential care facilities.
-
To implement Section 39, Chapter 2010-176, Laws of Florida, and create an expedited method of product approval for products certified to comply with the Florida Building Code and repeal means by which the Florida Building Commission approves evaluation entities in addition to those identified in statute.
-
The Board proposes this change to increase the number of hours of didactic education.
-
The Board is revising the examination requirements.
-
The Department intends to review this section to make changes to all aspects of permitting licensing and inspection requirements. This will include, but not be limited to adding requirements for permits that have been created by statute since the last changes to this rule section were made, including revising and updating application, permitting and inspection related forms.
-
The Board proposes this change to add graduate practical nurse.
- Proposed Rules (8)
-
The purpose and effect of this rulemaking is to amend the District’s current process for staff-issued notices of denial of incomplete permit applications consistent with a recent District Order delegating authorization to the Executive Director to take final action on permit applications and denials of permit applications.
-
The purpose and effect of amendments to Rule 40D-1.607, F.A.C., are to clarify that with respect to the application fee specified for public highway projects having less than 10 acres of project area and less than 2 acres of new impervious surface area, any new semi-impervious area is to be included in the acreage of new impervious surface area. The purpose and effect of amendments to Rule 40D-1.659, F.A.C., are to include in the listing of all District-adopted forms a revised Joint Application for Environmental Resource Permit/Authorization to Use State Owned Submerged Lands/Federal Dredge and Fill Permit, Form No. 547.27/ERP (6/10).
-
The purpose of this rulemaking is to add the term, “semi-impervious” to the environmental resource permit rules and portions of the Environmental Resource Permitting Manual Part B, Basis of Review, which set forth permitting exemptions, limitations or requirements that are based upon the amount of impervious surface existing or proposed for a project. The effect will be to clarify that semi-impervious material is to be included in requirements relating to impervious material. Historically, impervious and semi-impervious materials have been treated the same in District rules. However, recent rulemaking involving adoption of a separate definition of “semi-impervious” made the continued inclusion of semi-impervious material in calculations relating to impervious material unclear.
-
The Board proposes the substantial rewrite of the rule to add new language to clarify the time for payment of civil penalties.
-
The purpose of this rulemaking is to add the term, “semi-impervious” to the conditions for issuance of general environmental resource permits that are based upon the amount of impervious material proposed for a project. The effect will be to clarify that any such limitations concerning impervious surfaces are intended to include semi-impervious material. Historically, impervious and semi-impervious materials have been treated the same in District rules. However, recent rulemaking that included adoption of a separate definition of “semi-impervious” made the continued inclusion of semi-impervious materials in these rule provisions unclear.
-
The purpose of this rulemaking is to adopt and incorporate by reference a revised State of Florida Permit Application to Construct, Repair, Modify or Abandon a Well, to be numbered as District Form No. LEG-R.040.01 (6/10) and a revised Well Completion Report, to be numbered as District Form No. LEG-R.005.02 (6/10). The effect will be to make the District-adopted forms identical to revised forms proposed for statewide use by the Department of Environmental Protection.
-
The purpose of this amendment is to adopt forms necessary to implement the 2009 amendments to Section 464.019, F.S., by adopting a form that prescribes the format for approval of nursing programs and an annual report.
-
The purpose is to provide new rules for oversight by the director of nursing and the use of a recent unannounced licensure survey related to a licensure application for a change of ownership as required in Sections 400.497(5) and (6), F.S.; to provide a rule on the submission of the quarterly report required in Section 400.474(6)(f), F.S.; to update the statutory references in the rule and forms referenced to conform to current statutes, and remove items that are now in Florida Statutes and Chapter 59A-35, F.A.C.; to revise personnel rules to conform to state practice act rules for included professions; to clarify the wording of the rule on health statements and refer to communicable disease that can be spread by casual contact; to require a photo identification tag for staff that have contact with patients in order to protect patients and avoid persons wrongfully representing themselves as someone they are not; to remove rubber stamped signatures for physicians to prevent fraud; and to include minimum requirements for home health aide, certified nursing assistant, homemaker and companion client records and service provision plans which are less than the requirements for clinical records and plans of care for patients receiving nursing and therapy.

-
An Order Denying Petition for Permanent Waiver is in response to a petition filed by Milestone Group, Inc., received by the Department of Financial Services on December 16, 2009, and deemed complete at Milestone’s request on January 21, 2010. The basis for denying the petition is that it does not meet the statutory conditions for waiver in Section 120.542, Florida Statutes, which requires that the status quo meet the level of fire protection intended by the underlying statute, and that the application of the Department’s rule would either create a substantial hardship on the Petitioner, or would affect Petitioner in a manner significantly different from the way it affects other similarly situated persons who are subject to the rule.
-
a permanent waiver of paragraph 11B-20.0014(3)(d), F.A.C., by Brevard Community College on behalf of breath test instructor, Robert Wagner. The rule requires specialized topics instructors to meet certain criteria prior to teaching courses in their specialized topic area, in this case, alcohol breath tests. Petitioner asserts that its instructor completed all aspects of certification as a specialized topics instructor and submitted paperwork to the College’s Program Specialist for Breath Test Operator certification. That specialist left the College without submitting the paperwork to the CJSTC for processing. Petitioner believed that his certification as a breath test instructor had been granted and taught five separate breath test operator courses for the College from June 8, 2009 to February 1, 2010. The Petitioner and the College argue that the failure to comply with all administrative requirements of the rule did not jeopardize the delivery of instruction by Petitioner. Petitioner requests a permanent waiver of paragraphs 11B-20.001(3)(d) and 11B-20.0016(1)(a)-(c), F.A.C., and that his certification as a breath test instructor be recognized as dating from June 1, 2009.

The Department is seeking public input and information regarding an exception to the Baker Act law in regards to transporting minors.
The Florida Mental Health Act permits a community to request an exception to certain requirements for transportation of persons for involuntary examination contained in Section 394.462(3), Florida Statutes.
The exception plan for minors requested for Circuit 18/Brevard County proposes to require the transportation of minors to the nearest receiving facility that has licensed psychiatric beds specifically designated for minors, instead of to the nearest receiving facility serving persons of all ages. This is a permitted exception to the statutory requirements in that it improves service coordination and better meets the special needs of youth in Circuit 18/Brevard County.

This is the Final Public Hearing on the adoption of proposed Rule 69W-600.0011, F.A.C., published on June 4, 2010, in Vol. 36, No. 22 of the Florida Administrative Weekly. No changes have been made to the rule. As background, Section 517.1611(2), F.S., requires the Financial Services Commission to adopt registration disqualifying periods for applicants and their relevant persons based upon criminal convictions, pleas of nolo contendere, or pleas of guilt, regardless of whether adjudication was withheld. The statute imposes a disqualifying period of 15 years for certain felonies and 5 years for certain misdemeanors. The statute provides that the rule may also address mitigating factors, an additional waiting period based upon dates of imprisonment or community supervision, an additional waiting period based upon commitment of multiples crimes, and other factors reasonably related to the consideration of an applicant’s criminal history. The proposed rule implements these requirements for dealers, issuer/dealers, and investment advisers, including their relevant persons. Relevant persons include: any member, principal, or director of the applicant or any person having similar status or performing similar functions; any person directly or indirectly controlling the applicant; direct owners, principals, or indirect owners that are required to be reported on behalf of the applicant on Form BD (Uniform Application for Broker-Dealer Registration) or Form ADV (Uniform Application for Investment Registration) pursuant to Section 517.12(15), F.S. The rule makes a general classification of crimes into two classes: Class A and Class B. Class A crimes address felonies involving fraud, dishonesty or any other act of moral turpitude; and Class B crimes address misdemeanors involving those same issues. Under the proposed rule, the disqualification period for a Class A crime is 15 years. For Class B crimes, the disqualification period is 5 years. The rule provides that the disqualification period will be extended if the applicant or relevant person has multiple Class A or B crimes, and it provides that mitigating factors may be considered to reduce disqualifying periods. The disqualifying periods established in the rule do not give an applicant a right to registration after any set period of time. Regardless of the expiration of any disqualifying period imposed by the rule, the burden to prove entitlement to registration remains on the applicant. Other factors related to the consideration of the applicant’s or relevant person’s criminal history are also addressed.; July 29, 2010, 9:00 a.m., during a regular meeting of the Financial Services Commission; Cabinet Meeting Room, Lower Level, The Capitol, Tallahassee, Florida
