- to incorporate changes to the Florida Title XIX Intermediate Care Facilities (ICF) for the Mentally Retarded and the Developmentally Disabled Facilities not Publicly Owned and not Publicly Operated Reimbursement Plan (the Plan) in accordance with the 2009-10 General Appropriations Act, Senate Bill 2600, Specific Appropriation 218 and Senate Bill 1658, Section 8, creating Section 409.9083, Florida Statutes.
1. Effective October 1, 2009, the Agency shall implement a recurring methodology for the privately operated intermediate care facilities for the developmentally disabled to achieve a $17,373,303 reduction.
2. Effective October 1, 2009, the Agency may implement a buy back provision for privately operated intermediate care facilities for the developmentally disabled rate reductions.
3. Effective October 1, 2009, a quality assessment is to be imposed upon privately operated intermediate care facility providers for the developmentally disabled.
- The proposed amendment to Rule 59G-14.004, F.A.C., incorporates a statutory provision requiring a request for a dispute review and continuation of coverage to be filed within ten (10) working days, as opposed to calendar days, of notification of adverse action. This will permit the enrollee to continue receiving the same category of coverage or services during the course of the dispute review determination process and will give families additional time to address adverse actions affecting program eligibility.

- Amendments are proposed to Rule 40D-4.091, Florida Administrative Code (F.A.C.), Publications and Agreements Incorporated by Reference, and the District’s Environmental Resource Permit Information Manual, Part B, Basis of Review (BOR). Conditions for permit issuance in Rule 40D-4.301, F.A.C., are intended to prevent adverse impacts. Criteria in the BOR provide the basis for meeting the conditions for permit issuance. The BOR identifies the 100 year, 24 hour storm event as the basis for determining the 100 year floodplain and the 25 year, 24 hour storm event for comparing pre- and post-development discharge rates. In certain circumstances, higher flood elevations can occur following more frequent storm events than those specified in the Basis of Review. In those cases, it is desirable to consider other storm events of different frequency or duration to provide reasonable assurance of compliance with the conditions of issuance. The proposed amendments to the Basis of Review are intended to provide the flexibility to meet the conditions for permit issuance and prevent adverse impacts. Additionally, the proposed amendments to the Basis of Review provided are intended to be consistent with the methods used to establish the 100 year flood elevations in the updated floodplain maps developed for FEMA by the District.

- Anthony D. Record,; The Notice of Petition for Declaratory Statement was published in Vol. 35, No. 10, of the March 13, 2009, Florida Administrative Weekly. The Board considered the Petition at a duly-noticed public meeting held on June 1, 2009. The petition seeks the Board’s guidance about several issues relating to Section 484.002(9), Florida Statutes, regarding optical dispensing.

The Board considered the Petition at a duly-noticed public meeting held on June 1, 2009. The petition seeks the Board’s guidance regarding the clause “optical dispensing” as used in Section 484.002(9), Florida Statutes.
The Board declines to issue a declaratory statement because Section 484.002(9), Florida Statutes, is clear that an optician can interpret but not alter a prescription.
- Anthony D. Record,; The Notice of Petition for Declaratory Statement was published in Vol. 35, No. 10, of the March 13, 2009, Florida Administrative Weekly. The Board considered the Petition at a duly-noticed public meeting held on June 1, 2009. The petition seeks the Board’s guidance regarding Section 484.012, Florida Statutes. Specifically, whether the written prescription that is required to be kept on files means only the original prescription or whether various types of copies would fulfill the requirements.
The Board declines to issue a declaratory statement because Section 484.012, Florida Statutes, is clear about copies of prescriptions.
- Anthony D. Record,; The Notice of Petition for Declaratory Statement was published in Vol. 35, No. 10, of the March 13, 2009, Florida Administrative Weekly. The Board considered the Petition at a duly-noticed public meeting held on June 1, 2009. The petition seeks the Board’s guidance regarding several issues relating to Section 484.006(3), Florida Statutes. Specifically: (1) Under this section, can an optician tell a customer to pick out any frame and the optician would make a pair of +2.50s?; (2) At the patient’s request, could the optician make a pair of +2.50s, customizing them with the patient’s PD?; and (3) At the patient’s request, can an optician make and sell reading glasses to a potential customer who wants +2.00 for the right eye and +2.75 for the left eye?
The Board declines to issue a declaratory statement because Section 484.006(3), Florida Statutes, is clear about the “sale” of spectacles for reading purposes, and Sections 484.002 and 484.012, Florida Statutes, are clear as to the scope of practice of opticianry.
- Anthony D. Record,; The Notice of Petition for Declaratory Statement was published in Vol. 35, No. 10, of the March 13, 2009, Florida Administrative Weekly. The Board considered the Petition at a duly-noticed public meeting held on June 1, 2009. The petition inquired as to disciplinary actions taken when records are not readily available to clients when an optician is deceased.
The Board declines to issue a declaratory statement because Rule 64B12-10.006, Florida Administrative Code, is clear regarding the optician’s obligations regarding prescription files.
- Charles L. Harrup; The Notice of Petition for Declaratory Statement was published in Vol. 35, No. 10, of the March 13, 2009, Florida Administrative Weekly. The Board considered the Petition at a duly-noticed public meeting held on June 1, 2009. The Petitioner did not specify a particular rule or statute. However, it appears the Petitioner seeks the Board’s guidance regarding an issue relating to Section 484.012, Florida Statutes. Specifically he seeks guidance on the following issue: Whether an optician is obligated to dispense contact lenses to a patient who tries to order contact lenses just prior to the one-year expiration date on the prescription when the number of contacts ordered by the patient will last much longer than the prescription expiration date.
The Board declines to issue a declaratory statement because Section 484.012, Florida Statutes, is clear as written.
- Miguel R. Rodriguez; The Notice of Petition for Variance or Waiver was published in Vol. 35, No. 4, of the January 30, 2009, Florida Administrative Weekly. The Board considered the Petition at a duly-noticed public meeting held on February 9, 2009. The Board’s Order, filed on March 2, 2009, denies the Petition for Variance or Waiver of Rule 64B12-9.016, Florida Administrative Code. The Board finds that the Petitioner has not established that the purpose of the underlying statute, Section 484.007(1)(d)2., Florida Statutes, would be met were he granted a variance or waiver from Rule 64B12-9.016, Florida Administrative Code. Further, the Petitioner failed to establish that the Board’s application of Rule 64B12-9.016, Florida Administrative Code, to his circumstances would violate the principles of fairness and would impose a substantial hardship on him.

- Florida Real Estate Appraisal Board
- Nanette Johnson-Smith; The Notice of Petition for Declaratory Statement was published in Vol. 35, No. 26, of the July 2, 2009, Florida Administrative Weekly. Petitioner sought the Board’s interpretation of Section 475.611(1)(h), Florida Statutes, entitled “Definitions.” Petitioner sought to know whether her licensure as a certified residential real estate appraiser authorized her to appraise “Condo-tels.” The Florida Real Estate Appraisal Board considered the Petition at its meeting held on August 4, 2009, in Orlando, Florida. The Board’s Order, filed on August 20, 2009, denied the petition on the grounds that it was not in substantial compliance with the provisions of Section 120.565, F.S., and Chapter 28-105, F.A.C.
