DEPARTMENT OF MANAGEMENT SERVICES
Personnel Management System
RULE NO.: RULE TITLE:
60L-39.0015: Definitions
60L-39.003: Statewide Steering Committee
60L-39.004: Eligibility Criteria for Participation by Charitable Organizations
60L-39.0041: Eligibility Criteria for Receipt of Tier One Undesignated Funds

60L-39.007: Appeals
60L-39.008: Local Steering Committees
60L-39.009: Campaign Supported Activities
PURPOSE AND EFFECT: The Department proposes revisions to the rule in order to clarify and align provisions with statutory authority. Chapter 2012-15, Laws of Florida, amends the FSECC statute (Section 110.181, F.S.) to require that all employees who participate in the campaign must designate the participating charity(ies) which are to receive their donations, and to remove all references to “undesignated funds”.
SUBJECT AREA TO BE ADDRESSED: Rule 60L-39, F.A.C., needs to be amended to repeal the provisions related to the raising of undesignated funds; the process and form used to determine eligibility for charities to receive undesignated funds; and the allocation of undesignated funds. In its place, the revised rule proposes a uniform method by which agency sponsored events can be used to raise “designated” funds; updates program terminology; and provides for use of new pledge forms.
RULEMAKING AUTHORITY: 110.181(3) FS.
LAW IMPLEMENTED: 110.181 FS.
