RULE NO.: RULE TITLE:
5B-65.005: Movement of Regulated Articles
PURPOSE AND EFFECT: The purpose of this rulemaking is to correct an oversight in the rule as previously adopted. Paragraph 5B-65.005(7)(b), F.A.C., provides an exemption from the certification provisions of the rule for wood products transported into Florida from contiguous states that are transported to a processing facility in Florida. The provision failed to include an exemption for transportation of wood products that occurs wholly within the state to a processing facility in Florida. There is no reason to exempt transport from other states but not intrastate transport.
SUBJECT AREA TO BE ADDRESSED: Exemption of intrastate transport of wood products that are transported to a processing facility within the state.
RULEMAKING AUTHORITY: 570.07(23), 581.031(1), (4), (5), (7) FS.
LAW IMPLEMENTED: 570.07(2), (13), 581.031(1), (4), (5), (6), (7), (9), (20) FS.
