Department:

DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE AND CONSUMER SERVICES

Division:

Chapter:

PROFESSIONAL SURVEYORS AND MAPPERS

Overview

RULE:

5J-17.007	Exemption from Renewal Requirements for Spouses of Members of the Armed Forces of the United States
5J-17.021	Applications for Licensure: Education
5J-17.048	Reinstatement of Null and Void License
5J-17.070	Fees
5J-17.085	Survey Review

PURPOSE:

These rule changes are intended to amend, modernize and streamline the rules that govern the profession of surveying and mapping in the state of Florida.  These proposed changes are necessary as Chapter 472 has been amended and these rule modifications reflect those amendments. These rules provide guidance to applicants seeking a military waiver of an initial or renewal registration fee and amend the waiver of fees for military members and their spouses to align with the statuary changes.  Also, the proposed changes will provide clarification on acceptable verification of education, will restructure the continuing education requirements of those seeking reinstatement of null and void licenses and incorporate Department forms, and will streamline the survey review process.

SUMMARY:

The Board of Professional Surveyors and Mappers (Board) proposes the following rules pursuant to its rulemaking authority:  5J-17.007, 5J-17.021, 5J-17.048 and 5J-17.085. 
The Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (Department) proposes the following rule pursuant to its rulemaking authority: 5J-17.070.
 If adopted, the proposed language will amend and update the waiver of fees for military members and their spouses to align with changes in statute; they will provide clarification on what is deemed acceptable verification of education; they will restructure the continuing education requirements of those seeking reinstatement of null and void licenses so that the education may be taken after the Board reviews the reinstatement request; they will provide guidance to applicants seeking a military waiver of an initial or renewal registration fee; and they will amend the time period probationers are given to submit their survey lists from 120 days to 90 days, thus streamlining the survey review process.
