- Southwest Florida Water Management District
- The purpose and effect of this rulemaking is to amend the District’s current process for staff-issued notices of denial of incomplete permit applications consistent with a recent District Order delegating authorization to the Executive Director to take final action on permit applications and denials of permit applications.
- The purpose and effect of amendments to Rule 40D-1.607, F.A.C., are to clarify that with respect to the application fee specified for public highway projects having less than 10 acres of project area and less than 2 acres of new impervious surface area, any new semi-impervious area is to be included in the acreage of new impervious surface area. The purpose and effect of amendments to Rule 40D-1.659, F.A.C., are to include in the listing of all District-adopted forms a revised Joint Application for Environmental Resource Permit/Authorization to Use State Owned Submerged Lands/Federal Dredge and Fill Permit, Form No. 547.27/ERP (6/10).
- The purpose of this rulemaking is to add the term, “semi-impervious” to the environmental resource permit rules and portions of the Environmental Resource Permitting Manual Part B, Basis of Review, which set forth permitting exemptions, limitations or requirements that are based upon the amount of impervious surface existing or proposed for a project. The effect will be to clarify that semi-impervious material is to be included in requirements relating to impervious material. Historically, impervious and semi-impervious materials have been treated the same in District rules. However, recent rulemaking involving adoption of a separate definition of “semi-impervious” made the continued inclusion of semi-impervious material in calculations relating to impervious material unclear.

- a permanent waiver of paragraph 11B-20.0014(3)(d), F.A.C., by Brevard Community College on behalf of breath test instructor, Robert Wagner. The rule requires specialized topics instructors to meet certain criteria prior to teaching courses in their specialized topic area, in this case, alcohol breath tests. Petitioner asserts that its instructor completed all aspects of certification as a specialized topics instructor and submitted paperwork to the College’s Program Specialist for Breath Test Operator certification. That specialist left the College without submitting the paperwork to the CJSTC for processing. Petitioner believed that his certification as a breath test instructor had been granted and taught five separate breath test operator courses for the College from June 8, 2009 to February 1, 2010. The Petitioner and the College argue that the failure to comply with all administrative requirements of the rule did not jeopardize the delivery of instruction by Petitioner. Petitioner requests a permanent waiver of paragraphs 11B-20.001(3)(d) and 11B-20.0016(1)(a)-(c), F.A.C., and that his certification as a breath test instructor be recognized as dating from June 1, 2009.

- The Department is seeking public input and information regarding an exception to the Baker Act law in regards to transporting minors.
The Florida Mental Health Act permits a community to request an exception to certain requirements for transportation of persons for involuntary examination contained in Section 394.462(3), Florida Statutes.
The exception plan for minors requested for Circuit 18/Brevard County proposes to require the transportation of minors to the nearest receiving facility that has licensed psychiatric beds specifically designated for minors, instead of to the nearest receiving facility serving persons of all ages. This is a permitted exception to the statutory requirements in that it improves service coordination and better meets the special needs of youth in Circuit 18/Brevard County.

- This is the Final Public Hearing on the adoption of proposed Rule 69W-600.0011, F.A.C., published on June 4, 2010, in Vol. 36, No. 22 of the Florida Administrative Weekly. No changes have been made to the rule. As background, Section 517.1611(2), F.S., requires the Financial Services Commission to adopt registration disqualifying periods for applicants and their relevant persons based upon criminal convictions, pleas of nolo contendere, or pleas of guilt, regardless of whether adjudication was withheld. The statute imposes a disqualifying period of 15 years for certain felonies and 5 years for certain misdemeanors. The statute provides that the rule may also address mitigating factors, an additional waiting period based upon dates of imprisonment or community supervision, an additional waiting period based upon commitment of multiples crimes, and other factors reasonably related to the consideration of an applicant’s criminal history. The proposed rule implements these requirements for dealers, issuer/dealers, and investment advisers, including their relevant persons. Relevant persons include: any member, principal, or director of the applicant or any person having similar status or performing similar functions; any person directly or indirectly controlling the applicant; direct owners, principals, or indirect owners that are required to be reported on behalf of the applicant on Form BD (Uniform Application for Broker-Dealer Registration) or Form ADV (Uniform Application for Investment Registration) pursuant to Section 517.12(15), F.S. The rule makes a general classification of crimes into two classes: Class A and Class B. Class A crimes address felonies involving fraud, dishonesty or any other act of moral turpitude; and Class B crimes address misdemeanors involving those same issues. Under the proposed rule, the disqualification period for a Class A crime is 15 years. For Class B crimes, the disqualification period is 5 years. The rule provides that the disqualification period will be extended if the applicant or relevant person has multiple Class A or B crimes, and it provides that mitigating factors may be considered to reduce disqualifying periods. The disqualifying periods established in the rule do not give an applicant a right to registration after any set period of time. Regardless of the expiration of any disqualifying period imposed by the rule, the burden to prove entitlement to registration remains on the applicant. Other factors related to the consideration of the applicant’s or relevant person’s criminal history are also addressed.; July 29, 2010, 9:00 a.m., during a regular meeting of the Financial Services Commission; Cabinet Meeting Room, Lower Level, The Capitol, Tallahassee, Florida

The first proposed modification involves the construction of new walls and a second story floor and roof, but stays within the footprint/perimeter of the existing foundation, which has been determined adequate to support the proposed modifications. The cost of the modification will exceed 50% of the market value of the existing building. The second proposed modification is similar, but involves horizontal additions outside the perimeter of the existing foundation.
