6E-1.003: Definition of Terms
PURPOSE AND EFFECT: The purpose and effect of the proposed rule is to include a definition of an additional institutional location in order to assist institutions in complying with existing rule prohibiting modification to a license by adding an additional location while under a provisional license and to include a definition of a Florida student.
SUMMARY: The proposed rule defines an additional location as any location other than auxiliary classroom space that supports a licensed institution and defines a Florida student as a student attending a campus located in Florida or for distance education, a student who receives materials at a Florida address.
SUMMARY OF STATEMENT OF ESTIMATED REGULATORY COSTS AND LEGISLATIVE RATIFICATION:
The Agency has determined that this will not have an adverse impact on small business or likely increase directly or indirectly regulatory costs in excess of $200,000 in the aggregate within one year after the implementation of the rule. A SERC has not been prepared by the agency.
The Agency has determined that the proposed rule is not expected to require legislative ratification based on the statement of estimated regulatory costs or if no SERC is required, the information expressly relied upon and described herein: The proposed rule is not expected to exceed any of the criteria set forth in Section 120.541(2)(a), Florida Statutes and thus, a legislative ratification is not required under Section 120.541(3), Florida Statutes. This determination is based upon the nature of the proposed amendments.
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.
