33-601.225: Classification Screening for Youthful Offenders in Adult Facilities
PURPOSE AND EFFECT: The purpose and effect of the proposed rulemaking is to remove reference to the Office of Youthful Offenders, which no longer exists.
SUMMARY: The proposed rule removes reference to the Office of Youthful Offenders because it no longer exists and replaces the reference to indicate that the Bureau of Classification and Central Records is responsible for reviewing classification data for eligible inmates.
SUMMARY OF STATEMENT OF ESTIMATED REGULATORY COSTS AND LEGISLATIVE RATIFICATION: The agency has determined that this rule will not have an adverse impact on small business and is not likely to directly or indirectly increase regulatory costs by more than $200,000 within one year of taking effect. A SERC has not been prepared by the agency. Since the rule merely changes the organizational title of the central office bureau that is responsible for reviewing classification data and therefore has no impact on small business or the private sector, the rule is not expected to require legislative ratification.
Any person who wishes to provide information regarding a statement of estimated regulatory costs, or provide a proposal for a lower cost regulatory alternative must do so in writing within 21 days of this notice.
RULEMAKING AUTHORITY: 958.11 FS.
LAW IMPLEMENTED: 958.11 FS.
IF REQUESTED WITHIN 21 DAYS OF THE DATE OF THIS NOTICE, A HEARING WILL BE SCHEDULED AND ANNOUNCED IN THE FAW.
THE PERSON TO BE CONTACTED REGARDING THE PROPOSED RULE IS: Kendra Lee Jowers, 501 South Calhoun Street, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-2500
