PURPOSE:

The 2019 Florida Legislature established Chapter 2019-122, Laws of Florida, revising the criteria that the Department must consider in determining and assigning annual funding priorities for beach management and erosion control projects, and revising certain statutory provisions that the Department must consider with respect to managing inlets.  To that end, the Department is amending Chapter 62B-36, F.A.C., to reflect those statutory changes.  Revisions to the rule chapter necessitated by Sections 1 and 4 of Chapter 2019-122, Laws of Florida, will have a delayed effective date of July 1, 2020, as provided by the legislation.

SUBJECT:

Rule Chapter 62B-33, F.A.C., Beach Management Funding Assistance Program, works in concert with local sponsors to achieve protection, preservation, restoration, and nourishment of the sandy beaches fronting the Atlantic Ocean, the Gulf of Mexico and the Straits of Florida, and for the management of inlets. The Department requests annual funding from the Legislature to implement the program and when appropriations are made by the legislature, enters into cost sharing agreements with local sponsors for the implementation of beach and inlet management projects. The Chapter establishes funding request procedures, project ranking criteria, cost sharing procedures and project agreement requirements.
