Notice: 9782661

Notice of Proposed Rule

Department:

DEPARTMENT OF FINANCIAL SERVICES

Division:

Division of State Fire Marshal

Chapter:

FIREFIGHTER EMPLOYMENT STANDARDS

Overview

RULE:

69A-62.005

Exemption from 29 Code of Federal Regulations, Section 1910.134(g)(4) (Repealed)

PURPOSE:

The purpose of the proposed rule repeal is to rid Rule Chapter 69A-62, F.A.C., of outdated language.

SUMMARY:

Section 633.821(2), (3), F.S., directs the Department to adopt by rule 29 C.F.R. s. 1910.134(g)(4), the “two-in two-out” rule. Local government is given an implementation day of April 1, 2002. If unable to implement without adding additional personnel to its firefighting staff or expending significant additional funds, an extension of 6 months is provided, as long as the Department is notified of the election. If after that time the local government is still unable to comply, they become exempt from the requirement; however the Department must annually confirm entitlement to the exemption. The Department never received a notification of election to extend and therefore has nothing to confirm. This rule implemented the statute and is no longer required.
