  • Departmental
    • For Rules 19-11.001, 19-11.004 and 19-11.005, F.A.C., amendments are being made to reflect the fact that a self-directed brokerage account (“SDBA”) is being made available as an additional investment option to members of the Florida Retirement System (“FRS”) Investment Plan. Rule 19-11.001 sets forth a definition for a SDBA and emphasizes that the SDBA is different from the primary funds available under the FRS Investment Plan. Rule 19-11.004 is being amended to state that the excessive trading policies applicable to the FRS Investment Plan primary funds are not applicable to funds that a member has in a SDBA, and to emphasize that funds in the SDBA may be subject to their own excessive trading policies. Rule 19-11.005 is amended to reflect the fact that the complaint procedures applicable to the FRS Investment plan primary funds do not apply to funds placed in the SDBA. New Rule 19-11.013, F.A.C., is being added to detail information applicable to the SDBA, including, but not limited to, participation requirements, enrollment procedure, the responsibilities of participants in the SDBA, the types of available investments, applicable fees, the types of statements that will be issued, and complaint procedures available to SDBA participants.

    • waiver from Albert Frick, representing BUSSE Gmbh, BUSSE GT, BUSSE Florida. Specifically, the petitioner seeks a waiver from 64E-6.005(2), 64E-6.013(1)(a), and 64E-6.013(1)(e), Florida Administrative Code, which require onsite sewage systems to be located at least five feet from building foundations and not beneath or within buildings; treatment receptacles to be constructed of concrete, fiberglass or polyethylene; and treatment receptacles to be designed to withstand burial in the ground.

    • Sarah Pasko, RDH, seeking a variance or waiver of Rule 64B5-2.0135(3)(d), Florida Administrative Code, which requires that in order to be eligible for licensure, the written examination must be completed within eighteen (18) months of successfully completing the practical or clinical examination.
• Department of Law Enforcement
  • Criminal Justice Standards and Training Commission
    • a temporary variance of the requirements of Rule 11B-27.002(4)(a)(b), F.A.C., by Kimberly Perez. Petitioner wishes to waive that portion of the rule which requires an officer to obtain employment within four years of beginning basic recruit training. The Petitioner asserts that she could not obtain employment within the four year window. The Petitioner asserts that she is in the process of becoming rehired by the Florida Department of Corrections (DoC) after completing her proficiencies and passing the State Officer Certification Examination. The Petitioner’s eligibility for hire expired February 15, 2014. The Petition states that the operation of the rule would violate the principles of fairness because Petitioner is so close to employment with DoC. The Petition states that the operation of the rule creates a substantial hardship for Petitioner because to force her to retake basic and pass the exam at this point would be penalizing her for the lengthy hiring process she has been through since she applied in June of 2013. Petitioner seeks a temporary variance from February 15, 2014, through July 15, 2014 to ensure that the Petitioner can be processed into her position with DoC.
