Notice of Development of Rulemaking

DEPARTMENT OF JUVENILE JUSTICE
Residential Services
RULE NO: RULE TITLE
63E-7.002: Definitions
PURPOSE AND EFFECT: In January 2009, the rule chapter was amended to incorporate specialized programs such as serious habitual offender and intensive residential treatment programs. Specific language excluding these programs from the scope of the rule chapter was deleted at that time. However, language in a single definition, which repeated the exclusion, was inadvertently retained, and now must be deleted.
SUBJECT AREA TO BE ADDRESSED: An amendment is made to the definition of “residential commitment program,” deleting language that purports to exclude specialized programs from the scope of the rule chapter.
SPECIFIC AUTHORITY: 985.64 FS.
LAW IMPLEMENTED: 985.601(3)(a) FS.
