- Notices of Development of Proposed Rules and Negotiated Rulemaking (39)
-

-
The proposed rule amends income disregards for family-related Medicaid.
-

-
The purpose and effect of the proposed rule is to allow designated officers to carry chemical agent dispensers designed for controlling incidents involving numerous inmates in large areas and to require all certified officers to carry a chemical agent dispenser designed for controlling incidents indoors and involving fewer inmates.
-
The purpose of this rule development is to amend the 2008-2009 Course Code Directory and Instructional Personnel Assignments. This amendment is necessitated by the implementation requirements of 2008 legislation (Senate Bill 1908), which added flexibility for the high school graduation requirement previously requiring one credit in fine or performing arts. The new requirement is one credit in fine or performing arts, speech and debate, or a specified practical arts course. The Course Code Directory must be amended via this rule to reflect the designation for these practical arts courses.
-
Deletes limitation that Rule 19B-4.001 through Chapter 19B-15, F.A.C., apply to purchasers. These rules apply to all aspects of the Prepaid Plan. Conforms this rule to changes to Rule 19B-5.004, F.A.C.
-
Provides that each submitted application form must specify the beneficiary of a Prepaid Plan account rather than requiring that the purchaser must specify the beneficiary in an application submitted to the Board. Clarifies requirements for the notice that must be provided prior to the expiration of Prepaid Plan account benefits and escheatment of them to the Trust Fund. Conforms this rule to changes to Rule 19B-5.004, F.A.C.
-
Requires that a co-purchaser satisfy the same requirements that a purchaser must meet.
Revises requirements for Tuition Plans purchased on or after February 1, 2009, to: a) Require the co-purchaser’s approval for changes of the purchaser, co-purchaser and beneficiary for an account; b) Provide that the purchaser and co-purchaser each enjoy a survivorship right; c) Require the co-purchaser’s authorization for requests to terminate a Prepaid Plan and refund requests associated with the termination of Prepaid Plans. Allows purchasers and co-purchasers to revise the requirements for Prepaid Plans purchased prior to February 1, 2009, to include those requirements.
The changes are made applicable to Tuition Plans purchased on or after February 1, 2009, because the 2008-2009 Open Enrollment Period ends January 31, 2009; the Board has been receiving applications under the existing rules for the 2008-2009 Open Enrollment since February 1, 2008. Annually, the Board begins receiving new applications for the next succeeding open enrollment period on the day following the conclusion of prior Open Enrollment Period. February 1, 2009, is the first day the Board will begin receiving applications for the 2009-2010 Open Enrollment. By making the change effective on February 1, 2009, the Board can apply the requirements to all Prepaid Tuition Plan applications received for the 2009-2010 Open Enrollment Period.
-
Revises the requirements for changing the beneficiary of a Prepaid Plan to include authorization by the co-purchaser in addition by the authorization of the purchaser. Conforms this rule to changes to Rule 19B-5.004, F.A.C.
-
Conforms this Rule to the changes to Rule 19B-5.004, F.A.C. The deleted issues are dealt with by Rules 19B-10.002 and 19B-11.002, F.A.C.
-
The purpose of the rule development is to update the portion of the rule that addresses special diploma requirements for certain students with disabilities. The effect will be a rule that aligns with the Sunshine State Standards Access Points for Students with Significant Cognitive Disabilities and deletes terminology that became obsolete with the passage of HB 1313.
-
Section 206.8745(6), F.S., grants a refund for undyed tax-paid diesel fuel that is consumed by a power take-off unit or engine exhaust for the purpose of unloading bulk cargo by pumping. Subparagraph (2)(a)2. of Rule 12B-5.130, F.A.C. (Refunds), implements this statute and provides for refunds of the fuel tax paid on 10 gallons per full load pump-off of diesel fuel consumed by a power take-off unit or engine exhaust for the purpose of unloading bulk cargo from a pneumatic tank by pumping. Taxpayers are required to complete Form DR-309639 (Application for Refund of Tax Paid on Undyed Diesel Used for Off-road or Other Exempt Purposes) to apply for such refunds of fuel tax paid.
In Pritchett Trucking, Inc. v. Department of Revenue (Case No. 04-3093 CA, 2nd Circuit, July 3, 2008), the judge held that Section 206.8745, F.S., and subparagraph 12B-5.130(2)(a)2., F.A.C., requires only pumping is essential to the unloading of bulk cargo, and not whether the means of pumping is by pneumatics, hydraulics, or any other method. The purpose of this rulemaking is to remove the provisions of subparagraph (2)(a)2. of Rule 12B-5.130, F.A.C. (Refunds), and to adopt, by reference, changes to Form DR-309639 which reflect the court's decision. The changes to this rule and form will remove the requirement that a pneumatic pump is necessary to qualify for such refund.
-
Revises the requirements for signature needed to authorize voluntary termination of a Prepaid Plan.
-
To create a rule setting certification fees for foreign educational institutions.
-
Provides that refunds for terminated Prepaid Plans will be provided upon submission of a notarized written request signed by the purchaser and, if the Plan was purchased after February 1, 2009, by the co-purchaser. Conforms this rule to the changes to Rule 19B-5.004, F.A.C.
-
Revises the requirements for obtaining a refund for Prepaid Plans that have been partially used. Conforms this rule to the changes to Rules 19B-5.004 and 19B-11.001, F.A.C.
-
The Board proposes the rule amendment to delete the references to the national examination fee.
-
The Board proposes to review the rule to delete unnecessary language and to add language to clarify the approval process for continuing education providers.
-
Revises the requirements for written notice to purchasers due a refund for a terminated Prepaid Plan account prior to the escheatment of the refund to the Trust Fund. Conforms this rule to the changes to Rules 19B-5.004 and 19B-11.001, F.A.C.
-
Requires a contingent benefactor for an Investment Plan account to satisfy the same requirements as a benefactor. Provides that only one contingent benefactor may be named on an application for an account.
-
Provides that a contingent benefactor may not direct the investments of any contributions to the Investment Plan. The same prohibition applies to benefactors and designated beneficiaries. Conforms this rule to the changes to Rule 19B-16.008, F.A.C.
-
Provides that if an account is established after February 1, 2009, that changes of the benefactor will require the notarized authorization of the benefactor and the contingent benefactor. Provides that the benefactor for an account may be changed by the personal representative of the estate of the deceased benefactor only if no contingent benefactor has been designated for the account. Conforms this rule to the changes to Rule 19B-16.008, F.A.C.
-
Provides that the contingent benefactor also must authorize changes of the designated beneficiary for Investment Plan accounts established on or after February 1, 2009. Conforms this rule to the changes to Rule 19B-16.008, F.A.C.
-
Revises requirements for Investment Plan accounts established on or after February 1, 2009, to: a) provide that the benefactor and contingent benefactor each enjoy a survivorship right; and b) require the benefactor’s and the contingent benefactor’s authorization for requests to change the benefactor, contingent benefactor and designated beneficiary, to voluntarily terminate an Investment Plan account and to obtain refunds associated with the termination of an Investment Plan account. Allows benefactors and contingent benefactors to revise the requirements for Investment Plan accounts established prior to February 1, 2009, to include those requirements.
The changes made by this rule for the Investment Plan will apply to Investment Plans established on or after February 1, 2009, because that is the date similar rule changes for the Prepaid Plan will become effective. The changes being made for the Prepaid Plan will apply to applications for the Prepaid Plan received on or after February 1, 2009, the first day the Board will begin receiving Prepaid Plan applications for the 2009-2010 Open Enrollment. That is the earliest practical date the changes for the Prepaid Plan can be made effective. Making the changes to both plans effective on the same day will simplify administration and avoid customer confusion.

In the Notice of Rule Development, published in Vol. 33, No. 48, Florida Administrative Weekly, dated November 30, 2008, we stated that the handbook effective date was March 2008. We changed this date to July 2008.
-

-
The Southwest Florida Water Management District’s Water Use Permit (WUP) rules are being revised in association with the District’s ongoing development, implementation and refinement of its comprehensive electronic permitting and information system known as the Water Management Information System or WMIS. As part of this overall effort, proposed amendments to Chapter 40D-2, F.A.C., and the District’s Water Use Permit Information Manual Part B, Basis of Review, are intended to refine the permit category now informally known as “Small General” WUPs and to incorporate the term, “Small General,” into existing rules. Additional amendments are also proposed for Chapter 40D-1, F.A.C., as part of this effort. The overall purpose of this rulemaking is to re-define the Small General WUP category based upon minimal risk to the water resource for most water demands of less than 100,000 gallons per day, and to reduce where appropriate the level of information required to be submitted in support of applications for and compliance monitoring of Small General WUPs. The effect of this rulemaking package will be to limit the types of permits appropriate for the Small General permit category to those water uses that do not require significant evaluation or monitoring due to little-to-no risk of adverse impacts.
Some additional amendments not specifically limited to Small General WUPs are also proposed at this time for clarification purposes. The effect of these clarifying amendments will be to make existing WUP rules, practices and forms more consistent.
-
To revise the following forms to comply with Section 119.071(5), F.S. (2007), that precludes an agency from requesting an individual’s social security number unless such collection conforms to the specified provisions of that statute.

This amendment also makes a clerical revision to the existing rule relating to a field office address.
-
The District proposed to amend its Water Use Permit (WUP) rules to refine the permit category now informally known as “Small General” WUPs and to incorporate the term, “Small General,” into existing rules. Amendments are proposed primarily to Chapter 40D-2, F.A.C., and the District’s Water Use Permit Information Manual Part B, Basis of Review. However, as part of this effort, amendments are also proposed for Rule 40D-1.607, F.A.C., to incorporate the term, “Small General WUP.” The effect will be to specify the application fees for what will now be known formally as a “Small General WUP.” Amendments are also proposed to Rule 40D-1.659, F.A.C., to move the list or irrigation water use forms currently incorporated by reference in Rule 40D-2.091, F.A.C., which rule is intended to list documents incorporated by reference, to Rule 40D-1.659, F.A.C., which lists all District forms incorporated by reference. The effect of this amendment is to incorporate the forms used for reporting irrigation water use into the correct rule and establish a new form number for each form.

-

waiver under section 120.542 of the Florida Statutes from Eagle Bay Landing, LLC, to obtain a waiver of the provisions of rule 62-312.080(7) of the Florida Administrative Code, which restrict the Department when issuing a permit for dredging and filling in Class II or III waters approved for shellfish harvesting.
-
variance or waiver, pursuant to section 120.542, Florida Statutes, and Rule 28-104, F.A.C., from subsections 62B-33.002(18), (43), and (63) F.A.C., which defines “eligible structures”, “nonconforming structures,” and “vulnerable,” respectively, and from subparagraph 62B-33.0051(1)(a)1., F.A.C., which provides the condition where construction of armoring shall be authorized is for the protection of an eligible structure.

-
The Order has been assigned the number 95585-08-FM. Petitioner sought a variance of Rules 69A-37.084 and 69A-37.085, Florida Administrative Code, which set forth the requirements for firefighter supplemental compensation. Because Petitioner holds a degree from a foreign educational institution, Petitioner sought a variance from the requirement that an "eligible Bachelor's Degree" must be conferred by a post-secondary institution that has received accreditation "from an accrediting agency that is recognized by the U.S. Department of Education." The Department examined the documentation submitted by Petitioner in support of his Petition and determined that a variance or waiver of Rules 69A-37.084 and 69A-37.085, Florida Administrative Code, was warranted to the limited extent that “accredited” does not require “accreditation from an accrediting agency that is recognized by the U.S. Department of Education” under these particular facts and circumstances.

The Order is regarding the Petition for Waiver or Variance, which was filed on October 29, 2007, by Gabriela A. Motta. The Notice of Petition for Waiver or Variance was published in Volume 33, Number 45, of the November 9, 2007, Florida Administrative Weekly. The Petitioner was seeking a waiver or variance with regard to the requirement that an applicant provide evidence of successful completion of a Board approved English proficiency examination if English was not the language of instruction as evidenced by a minimum score of 89 on the TOEFL as well as accompanying minimum scores in the test’s four components of: 24 in writing; 26 in speaking; 21 in reading comprehension; and 18 in listening comprehension, as provided under Rule 64B17-3.001(5)(c) and (d), F.A.C., entitled “Licensure as a Physical Therapist by Examination.” The Board considered the instant Petition at a duly-noticed meeting, held December 7, 2007, in Tampa, Florida.
The Board’s Order denied the petition finding that Petitioner had not established that the purpose of the underlying statute, Section 486.051, F.S., would be met by granting a variance or waiver from Rule 64B17-3.001(5)(c) and (d), F.A.C. The Board further finds that Petitioner has not established that applying the requirements of the aforementioned Rule to her circumstances would violate principles of fairness and impose substantial hardship.
-
Florida Division of Chesapeake Utilities Corporation, filed August 15, 2008, in Docket No.: 080547-EI, seeking a permanent waiver of the requirements of subsections 25-7.084(2) and 25-7.085(4), Florida Administrative Code. The rules require monthly meter readings taken from the meter at the customers’ premises. The company is currently installing automatic meter-reading equipment throughout its system, which alleviates the need for meter readings on the customers’ premises. Comments on the petition should be filed with the Florida Public Service Commission, Office of the Commission Clerk and Administrative Services, 2540 Shumard Oak Boulevard, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-0850, within 14 days after publication of this notice.
-
Petition for Variance or Waiver of Rule 64B3-5.004(3), F.A.C. filed by Priyanka D. Patel (“the Petitioner”) on July 8, 2008. The initial notice was published on July 18, 2008 in Volume 34, Number 29 of the Florida Administrative Weekly. Rule 64B3-5.004(3) F.A.C. entitled “Technician” sets forth the requirements one must satisfy in order to obtain a technician’s license. The Board considered this matter during a duly-noticed, telephonic meeting on August 19, 2008 and determined the Petition should be denied on the following grounds:
1. Section 120.542(2), Florida Statutes (2007), provides that “[v]ariances and waivers shall be granted when the person subject to the rule demonstrates that the purpose of the underlying statute will be or has been achieved by other means by the person and when application of a rule would create a substantial hardship or would violate the principles of fairness.”
2. After considering her testimony, the Board concluded that the Petitioner failed to demonstrate that requiring her to fulfill the experience requirement of Rule 64B3-5.004(3) would create a substantial hardship or violate the principals of fairness.
-
Robert L. Trescott, seeking a variance or waiver of Rule 61H1-31.001(4), F.A.C., which requires a fee of $250.00 for reactivation of a delinquent status license. Petitioner also seeks a variance or waiver of Rule 61H1-33.003(1)(a), Florida Administrative Code, which requires that in any given reestablishment period, at least 80 hours of continuing education credits must be earned and Rule 61H1-33.003(1)(b), F.A.C., which requires that a licensee submit an additional 8 hours of Accounting and Auditing subjects for not meeting the deadline for obtaining the required continuing education hours by June 30th of the licensee’s reestablishment period. Petitioner also seeks a variance or waiver of Rule 61H1-33.003(6), F.A.C., which requires that each CPA shall, on or before July 15 prior to the licensee’s biennial license renewal, report on forms prescribed by the Board, programs of continuing professional education completed during the applicable reestablishment period. Petitioner is also seeking a variance from Rule 61H1-33.006(2), Florida Administrative Code, which requires that an applicant for reactivation demonstrate successful completion of the required number of continuing professional education hours.
-
Robert A. Ortega, seeking a variance from Rule 61H1-33.006(2), Florida Administrative Code, which requires that an applicant for reactivation demonstrate successful completion of the required number of continuing professional education hours.
