To comply with the requirements in Sections 413.011, 413.041, and 413.051, Florida Statutes, and to carry out the purpose of Chapter 413, Part I, Florida Statutes. The effect will be rules that accurately reflect all current requirements related to the operation of the Division of Blind Services Bureau of Business Enterprise.

SUMMARY:

The proposed rule language updates the definitions for the purposes of Chapter 413, Part I, Florida Statutes and incorporates the federal rules that govern vocational rehabilitation and the blind vendor program. The factors considered in the establishment of vending facilities as well as the ability of the Division to receive income from vending machines on federal and state property not operated by a blind vendor are clarified by the proposed language. The requirements for licensure and the actions and omissions of a licensee that could lead to discipline are more precisely stated. Timeframes for the blind vendor grievance procedure are adjusted and the requirements for eligibility to apply for a vending facility are clarified. The proposed rule provides more detail on the Licensed Operator Facility Agreement and the responsibilities of the blind vendor and the Division under such an agreement. Finally, the documents incorporated by reference have been updated.
