33-602.101: Care of Inmates
PURPOSE AND EFFECT: The purpose and effect of the proposed rule is to modify inmate uniform provisions and clarify security pen allocation.
SUMMARY: The proposed rule removes reference to dresses and slips and clarifies how security pens are to be allocated.
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.
Based on information provided by the Bureau of Finance and Accounting indicating the changes only affect where the trust monies are directed within the Department and therefore have no effect on small business, as well as information indicating that the changes would not require any additional training or have any other regulatory cost, 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: 944.09, 945.215 FS.
LAW IMPLEMENTED: 944.09, 945.215 FS.
IF REQUESTED WITHIN 21 DAYS OF THE DATE OF THIS NOTICE, A HEARING WILL BE SCHEDULED AND ANNOUNCED IN THE FAW.
