Notice: 20303572

Notice of Proposed Rule

Department:

DEPARTMENT OF FINANCIAL SERVICES

Division:

Division of Workers' Compensation

Chapter:

WORKERS' COMPENSATION COMPLIANCE

Overview

RULE:

69L-6.025

Conditional Release of Stop-Work Order and Periodic Payment Agreement

PURPOSE:

Section 440.107, F.S., requires the Department to enforce workers’ compensation coverage requirements and to issue stop-work orders, penalty assessment orders, and any other orders necessary for the administration of this section.

SUMMARY:

The proposed amendment to paragraph 69L-6.025(4)(b), F.A.C., will allow employers an additional opportunity to remain compliant with their payment agreement schedules by increasing the number of times the Department will rescind an Order Reinstating Stop-Work Order from two to three in any one case. The proposed amendment to paragraph 69L-6.025(7)(c), F.A.C., will allow employers whose Reinstatement of Stop-Work Orders have been rescinded, the opportunity to enter into new payment agreements after making three monthly payments of the original agreed amount. Currently, the employer is required to make six monthly payments of the original agreed amount after the rescission of the Reinstatement of the Stop-Work Order prior to entering into a new payment agreement. Reducing the number of payments required from six to three will shorten the timeframe for entering into a new payment agreement.
