58C-1.003: Administration
58C-1.005: Service Provider Requirements
PURPOSE AND EFFECT: The purpose and effect of the proposed rule amendment will be to repeal rules identified during the comprehensive rule review required by Executive Order 11-01 as duplicative, unnecessarily burdensome, or no longer necessary.
SUMMARY: These rules are being repealed as the specific requirements of these rules substantially restate information that is included in the individual contracts the Department has executed with the area agencies on aging and the lead agencies in the administration of the Community Care for the Elderly program, and are therefore, duplicative.
SUMMARY OF STATEMENT OF ESTIMATED REGULATORY COSTS: The Agency has determined that this will not have an adverse impact on small business or likely increase directly or indirectly regulatory costs in excess of $200,000 in the aggregate within one year after the implementation of the rule. A SERC has not been prepared by the agency.
STATEMENT REGARDING LEGISLATIVE RATIFICATION: The repeal of this rule is not expected to require legislative ratification pursuant to Section 120.541(3)(a)1., F.S., as there will be no impact on economic growth, job creation or employment, private-sector investment, or business competitiveness and no increase in regulatory costs.
Any person who wishes to provide information regarding a statement of estimated regulatory costs, or provide a proposal for a lower cost regulatory alternative must do so in writing within 21 days of this notice.
