Notice of Proposed Rule

Department:

DEPARTMENT OF FINANCIAL SERVICES

Division:

Division of Consumer Services

Chapter:

Florida Comprehensive Hurricane Damage Mitigation Program (My Safe Florida Home Program)

Overview

RULE:

69J-7.007

Grants-Medical Condition Exception (Repealed)

PURPOSE:

The purpose of this amendment is to repeal Rule 69J-7.007, F.A.C., which provides that if an existing and compliant opening protection system of a home is unlikely to be deployed due to medical limitations on the homeowner, a replacement system that is more likely to be deployed because the medical limitations do not impede deployment of the system shall qualify for a grant from the My Safe Florida Home program. This rule is being repealed because it is an invalid exercise of delegated legislative authority.

SUMMARY:

This rulemaking is part of the agency’s comprehensive review of existing rules that focused on eliminating those that were determined to be unnecessary or duplicative. The repeal of this rule will remove provisions that provide grants for mitigating the risk of hurricane damage when compliant opening protection systems are unlikely to be deployed due to medical limitations on the homeowner. The statute implemented does not address grants based on medical limitations on the homeowner. Grants may be provided to persons of low income for mitigating the risk of hurricane damage.
