Although the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking stated that a Statement of Estimated Regulatory Costs (SERC) had been prepared and was available, the Notice did not summarize the SERC. The following is a Summary of the Statement of Estimated Regulatory Costs:
● All licensees must comply with the rule. Licensees are not required to complete continuing education through a home study; however, licensees have the option of doing so.
● Only rule making costs will be incurred.
● Transaction costs are impossible to estimate.
● There is no way to determine how much of an impact the rule will have on small businesses as it is unknown how many licensees will choose home study programs; the rule will not impact small towns or cities.
This correction does not affect the substance of the rule as it appeared in the Florida Administrative Weekly as outlined above.
THE PERSON TO BE CONTACTED REGARDING THE ABOVE CORRECTION IS: Allen Hall, Executive Director, Dietetics and Nutrition Practices Council, 4052 Bald Cypress Way, Bin #C05, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-3253
