PURPOSE:

This is a substantial amendment of Rule Chapter 14-61, F.A.C., consisting of a new Part I, Part II, and Part III structure. Part I – General will be based upon the current rule. However, because it will be broken into three separate rules, the existing Rule 14-61.0011, F.A.C., is being repealed and the three new rules, based upon portions of the existing rule, are adopted as new. Part II – Turnpike Tandems and Part III – Regulations Covering the Operation and Safety of Turnpike Tandems are based upon existing rules in Rule Chapter 14-54, F.A.C. Upon adoption of these new rules, the existing Rule Chapter 14-54, F.A.C., will be repealed.

SUMMARY:

This is a revision of Rule Chapter 14-61, F.A.C., to include repeal of the existing rule and adoption of 17 new rules with a three part structure. The new rules being adopted in Part I are based upon the existing Rule 14-61.0011, F.A.C., which is being repealed. The new rules being adopted in Part II and Part III amend and replace existing rules currently in Rule Chapter 14-54, F.A.C.
