PURPOSE AND EFFECT: The proposal will repeal all of the rules in Chapter 65B-38, F.A.C. These rules relate to a program no longer administered by the Department. The receiving agency did not want the rules transferred. The rules, therefore, are no longer necessary, and the Department no longer has statutory authority to maintain them.
SUMMARY: The Department is repealing these rules because they are unnecessary and the Department lacks statutory authority to maintain them.
SUMMARY OF STATEMENT OF ESTIMATED REGULATORY COSTS AND LEGISLATIVE RATIFICATION:
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.
The Agency has determined that the proposed rule is not expected to require legislative ratification based on the statement of estimated regulatory costs or if no SERC is required, the information expressly relied upon and described herein:
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.
RULEMAKING AUTHORITY: 393.067. 393.051 FS.
LAW IMPLEMENTED: 393.067, 393.051 FS.
IF REQUESTED WITHIN 21 DAYS OF THE DATE OF THIS NOTICE, A HEARING WILL BE SCHEDULED AND ANNOUNCED IN THE FAW.
THE PERSON TO BE CONTACTED REGARDING THE PROPOSED RULE IS: Gregory Venz (850)488-2381 gregory_venz@dcf.state.fl.us
