Notice of Development of Rulemaking

Department:

DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION

Division:

State Board of Education

Chapter:

Vocational Rehabilitation

Overview

RULE:

6A-25.001

Incorporation by Reference

PURPOSE:

In accordance with Section 120.5435, F.S., the Division conducted a comprehensive review of the existing rule chapter to determine whether the rules remain necessary, duplicative, outdated or inconsistent with current statutory authority.
Based on this review, the Division determined that certain provisions primarily restate operational policy and programmatic guidance that are more appropriately maintained within the Division of Vocational Rehabilitation (DVR) Policy Manual. Maintaining these provisions in rule creates duplicative requirements and limits administrative flexibility.
The proposed rule amendment repeals or revises these provisions and incorporates the relevant operational guidance into a revised policy manual and related forms, each of which are incorporated by reference in Rule 6A-25.001, F.A.C. The DVR Policy Manual consolidates operational guidance and ensures alignment with applicable federal requirements under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA), Title 34 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Parts 361, 363 and 397; Title 2 of the CFR, Part 200; as well as state statutory authority under Sections 413.22 and 1001.02, F.S.
