- Proposed Rules (1)
-
In its current version, this rule restricts out-of-state security personnel from coming into the state of Florida to provide security services during an officially declared state of emergency unless the security personnel are employed by a security agency already licensed in Florida under the provisions of Chapter 493. The rule has not been substantially revised or updated since the early 1990s. The recommended changes are intended to achieve the following objectives.
1. The proposed language will revise this rule to establish up-to-date conditions that out-of-state security personnel must meet and abide by in order to enter Florida to provide services during a declared emergency. Specifically, out-of-state personnel must meet following criteria:
a. they must be licensed as security personnel in their home state;
b. they must have received some minimum formal training in the security field; and,
c. they must have passed a criminal background check as part of the licensure process.
2. The rule will also allow out-of-state security personnel to carry whatever firearms and ammunition that are allowed under their home state's laws and rules, except that rifles and shotguns will be prohibited.
3. The revised rule will retain the requirement that out-of-state security personnel must be in agent or employee of a security agency already licensed in accordance with the laws of Florida; however, the rule will contain an exemption that will allow security personnel who are solely employed by a utility company (electric, gas, water, etc.) to come into Florida to assist Florida utilities with infrastructure repair and service restoration.
4. The rule specifically allows currently certified and active law enforcement officers to provide security services during a declared state of emergency.
5. The rule specifies that out-of-state security personnel providing security services during a declared state of emergency will be subject to the authority of Chapter 493, Florida Statutes, and rule chapter 5N-1 while in this state, and they will be granted authority to work in Florida only for the duration of the declared state of emergency.
- Petitions and Dispositions Regarding Rule Variance or Waiver (6)
-
That on August 30, 2013, the Department of Environmental Protection has issued an order. The order is for Monroe County variance petition (OGC File No. 13-1100), received on July 22, 2013. The petition requested a variance from the requirement to record a surveyor’s plot and other associated documents related to the abandonment of Class V, Group 3 injection wells in Monroe County in the county courthouse public records (Rule 62-528.645(3), F.A.C.). Notice of receipt of this petition was published in the Florida Administrative Register, on July 25, 2013. No public comment was received. The final order granted a variance to Monroe County residents to relieve them from the requirements to record a surveyor’s plot and other associated records of the plugging and abandonment of Class V, Group 3 injection wells in the county courthouse public records. This variance was granted because the petitioner demonstrated a substantial hardship and that the purposes of the underlying statutes would be met with the conditions imposed by the Department.
