Purpose
The proposed rule amendment seeks to delete outdated and incorrect information from the rule while clarifying and updating other phrases within the rule.Summary
The rule chapter language is amended to delete any requirement that a person requesting public records must make a written request, in accordance with Section 119.07, F.S. Additionally, all outdated charges for copies of public records is deleted, while designating that the Commission only accepts payment by check, money order, or Journal Transfer. Finally, the location of the Commission's final orders online is updated. All of Section 119.07, F.S. applies to this rule, and Section 760.10(14), F.S. does not exist, therefore, the law implemented section is updated to include Section 760.11(12), F.S. instead.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. 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:Notification
