Overview

RULE:

69L-6.012

Notice of Election to Be Exempt

PURPOSE:

The proposed rule implements applicable sections of HB 941 that was passed by the 2012 Legislature. HB 941 amended s. 440.05, F.S., revising the requirements for submitting a notice of election of exemption. The proposed rule provides for electronic submission of exemption applications (Form DFS-F2-DWC-250, Notice of Election to be Exempt) through the DWC Notice of Election to be Exempt system, along with streamlined reporting requirements; other related forms are also updated to reflect the revised reporting requirements. Electronic submission provides applicants with an online system to complete and pay for their exemptions, eliminating the cost of postage and mailing and reducing the time for applicants to receive their exemption certificates. The proposed rule also deletes certain overly repetitive statutory references and fully identifies forms consistent with their assigned numbering convention. The proposed rule is renumbered accordingly.
