- The purpose and effect of the rule development is to revise the Universal Patient Authorization Form for Full Disclosure of Health Information for Treatment and Quality of Care incorporated by reference as AHCA Form FC4200-004 and the Universal Patient Authorization Form for Limited Disclosure of Health Information incorporated by reference as AHCA Form FC4200-005 to provide that the effective period of authorization ends at withdrawal of permission or date of death, to adopt Spanish versions of the forms incorporated by reference as AHCA Form FC4200-006 and AHCA Form 4200-007 under the provisions of Section 408.051(4), Fla. Stat., clarify in the authorization forms that permission is for use and disclosure, clarify the statement that permissions will not affect medical treatment, payment for treatment or insurance coverage, clarify in the authorization forms that authorization is for medical products in addition to medical services, clarify that permission may be revoked rather than withdrawn, remove an incorrect reference to Rule 59B-16.003, F.A.C., clarify the definition of health care provider in Rule 59B-16.001, F.A.C., and add specific rulemaking authority citations under Rules 59B-16.001 and 59B-16.002, F.A.C. The Universal Patient Authorization forms need to be amended due to Federal guidance issued on June 16, 2010, by U.S. Health and Human Services (HHS), Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration. This federal guidance requires a change to the form to comply with HHS’s interpretation of the federal law governing patient consent for the release of patient records from federally funded substance abuse treatment programs that are subject to 42 CFR Part 2, Confidentiality of alcohol and drug abuse patient records.

- Existing Department rule governing delegation of the Environmental Resource Permit (ERP) program under Part IV of Chapter 373, F.S., to a county, municipality, or local pollution control program (local governments) are being amended to address changes made to Section 373.441, F.S., by Chapter 2010-147, Laws of Florida, effective July 1, 2010. Those amendments: (1) provide that the Department, and no longer a water management district, is the sole agency that can delegate ERP program responsibilities in whole or in part to a local government; (2) provide the process for a local government to petition the Governor and Cabinet for review of a request for a delegation that is not approved or denied within one year of being initiated; (3) require the Department to detail the statutory and rule provisions that were not met in any denial of a local government’s petition for delegation; and (4) require approval of a petition that meets the requirements of Chapter 62-344, F.A.C. Changes to each rule section of Chapter 62-344, F.A.C., are required to address the above.
In addition, changes have been made regarding the content of the petition for delegation and the criteria for its review. Substantively, a local government implementing a delegated ERP will be limited to using the ERP rules of the Department and the applicable water management district, which must be adopted verbatim either within the body of the local government’s controlling regulations or by incorporating those rules by reference within their regulations. They will no longer be able to use rules, ordinances, or regulations adopted under the local government’s own regulatory program, which, at a minimum, incorporate directly or by reference, the relevant portions of the reviewing agency’s environmental resource permit program rules. However, the local government may continue to apply its stricter local standards that are not in conflict with Part IV of Chapter 373, F.S. In so doing, the local government will be required to act on the application or notice under Part IV of Chapter 373, F.S., together with any applicable stricter standards, within the time frames under Chapter 120, F.S., Part IV of Chapter 373, F.S., and the rules adopted thereunder, as applicable. These changes will simplify the evaluation of a requested delegation and will significantly improve consistency between the Department, water management districts, and delegated local government in implementing the ERP rules. This also will benefit the public by reducing differences between the rules that must be followed when designing projects, submitting applications, and going through the review process.
At the request of some regulated interests, the Department also narrowed the types of activities that can be delegated to not allowing delegations for activities proposed by inland navigation districts or that occur within deepwater ports. This will ensure entities having activities spanning multiple jurisdictions and with broad financial implications will receive a more consistent review of their ERP applications by a single entity (typically the Department).
The proposed rule does not substantively change the ability of a local government to petition for delegation of the ERP program, the required content of a petition, the criteria used in the review of the petition, or the criteria that will be used by the Department to approve or deny the petition. The proposed changes also do not increase costs to the regulated community, and in fact can be expected to reduce regulatory costs.

- a permanent waiver of subsection 11B-27.00212(14), F.A.C., from Gretna Police Department on behalf of two officers for the 2008 (7/1/2006 – 6/30/2008) mandatory firearms requalification reporting period. Subsection 11B-27.00212(14), F.A.C., requires officers to requalify with a firearm every two years on a course of fire mandated by Commission rule and supervised by a CJSTC-certified firearms instructor. The petition supports the requested waiver by stating that the officers at issue attempted to comply, and in one instance, did physically comply with the requirements of the rule. Petitioner states that the officer will suffer a substantial hardship if their certifications are rendered inactive as a result of this situation. Petitioner further states that it would violate the principles of fairness to fail to recognize that one officer did successfully complete the requirement but could not produce a CJSTC 86A form and the other officer did not have an opportunity to complete training at her full-time employment and her part-time employment was unaware of the situation.
- a permanent waiver of subsection 11B-27.00212(14), F.A.C., from Columbia County Sheriff’s Office on behalf of eight officers for the 2008 (7/1/2006 – 6/30/2008) and 2010 (7/1/2008 – 6/30/2010) reporting periods. Subsection 11B-27.00212(14), F.A.C., requires officers to requalify with a firearm every two years on a course of fire mandated by Commission rule and supervised by a CJSTC-certified firearms instructor. The petition supports the requested waiver by stating that the eight officers at issue did successfully complete the course of fire, however, the instructors supervising the requalifications were not CJSTC-certified firearms instructors. Petitioner states that the officers will suffer a substantial hardship if their certifications are rendered inactive as a result of this situation. Petitioner further states that it would violate the principles of fairness to fail to recognize that the officers did successfully complete the requirement simply because non-CJSTC-certified firearms instructors supervised the 2008 and 2010 mandatory firearms requalifications for the officers.
- a permanent waiver of subsection 11B-27.00212(14), F.A.C., from Davenport Police Department on behalf of 16 officers for the 2008 (7/1/2006 – 6/30/2008) reporting period. Subsection 11B-27.00212(14), F.A.C., requires officers to requalify with a firearm every two years on a course of fire mandated by Commission rule and supervised by a CJSTC-certified firearms instructor. The petition supports the requested waiver by stating that the 16 officers at issue did successfully complete the course of fire, however, the instructors supervising the requalifications were not CJSTC-certified firearms instructors. Petitioner states that the officers will suffer a substantial hardship if their certifications are rendered inactive as a result of this situation. Petitioner further states that it would violate the principles of fairness to fail to recognize that the officers did successfully complete the requirement simply because non-CJSTC-certified firearms instructors supervised the 2008 mandatory firearms requalifications for the 16 officers.
