In response to comments by JAPC staff, the following corrections are made:
1) In the Notice of Proposed Rule (NPR) published on 12-9-11, in the section regarding the SERC and Legislative ratification, the phrase “Knowledge and experience of Department staff” is deleted. A SERC was prepared. The following summary of the SERC is provided: This rule will affect schools that offer courses to satisfy educational requirements for funeral director or embalmer licensure. There are 3 Florida schools that will be affected by the rule: Florida State College in Jacksonville; St. Petersburg College; and Miami-Dade College. The cost to the schools to obtain and fill out the form DFS-N1-2041 is estimated at approximately 30 minutes of school staff time. If school staff time is valued at $50 per hour, the estimated cost is approximately $25 per school, times 3 schools, equals $75 aggregate statewide cost to the schools per year. There is no application fee for the schools to apply for course approval. The 3 schools have reviewed the draft rule and offered no objections to same.
2) In paragraph 69K-100.035(5)(a), F.A.C., the reference to form “DFS-N1-” is replaced by “DFS-N1-2041.”
