40D-1.659: Forms and Instructions
PURPOSE AND EFFECT: The purpose of the proposed rule amendment is to adopt a revised Water Well Contractor License Renewal Form to eliminate driver's license number and date of birth from the Form. The effect will be to retain confidentiality of personal information.
SUMMARY: Water well contractors are licensed by the Department of Environmental Protection and the water management districts. Water well contractors are required to renew their licenses every two years. License renewals occur during June/July of every odd-numbered year. As part of the District's new Water Management Information System (WMIS) initiative, all future applications for water well contractor licenses and renewal of licenses will be accessible to the public through WMIS. For this reason, changes to the existing license renewal form are necessary to remove certain information (driver's license number and date of birth) that should remain private. The well contractor license renewal form is further revised to include a certification of responsibility when acting as an agent for a property owner, thereby eliminating the need for a separate certification form. subsection 40D-1.659(2), F.A.C., is amended to reflect the date of adoption of the revised form.
SUMMARY OF STATEMENT OF ESTIMATED REGULATORY COSTS: No Statement of Estimated Regulatory Cost was prepared.
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.
