- Proposed Rules (2)
-
The Department is aligning policy with the Medicaid State Plan by amending the uncovered medical expense deduction policy and adding an additional personal needs allowance. The Department is also adding the Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly, the Cystic Fibrosis, IBudget Florida and Statewide Medicaid Managed Care Long-Term Care waivers and their deduction policies. These policies are used to determine an individual’s cost of care paid to nursing facilities and waiver providers in the post eligibility determination process. Included in this proposed rule amendment are wording changes to improve the overall content of the rule and technical changes of a non-substantive nature.
-
Section 113.324(1)(b), F.S., authorizes the Commission on Ethics to accept written referrals of possible violations of Article II, Section 8, Florida Constitution, or the Code of Ethics for Public Officers and Employees from the Governor, the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, a state attorney, or a United States attorney. This rule chapter contains the procedures for the receipt, consideration and disposition of such referrals.
- Petitions and Dispositions Regarding Rule Variance or Waiver (9)
-
a permanent waiver of Paragraph 11B-35.0011(1)(h), F.A.C., from the Florida Department of Corrections (DoC) on behalf of Tavia L. Anderson. The Petitioner wishes to waive that portion of the rule that states a Basic Abilities Test (BAT) score is only good for four years from the date of the test. The Petitioner stated that Anderson passed the BAT before her hire date in January of 2011. Petitioner states that Anderson’s BAT scores expired one day prior to her beginning basic recruit training. Anderson successfully completed basic recruit training. She was scheduled to take the State Officer Certification Examination on September 24, 2013, but her scores will not be released without a waiver of the rule.
Petitioner states that the application of the rule violates the principles of fairness in Anderson’s situation because the BAT is to show fitness to enter basic, and Anderson has already passed basic. Petitioner states that Anderson and Petitioner suffer economic hardship under the rule as it is applied. Petitioner states that the underlying statute has already been fulfilled because Anderson passed basic recruit training.
