The Notice of Proposed Rulemaking summarized a Statement of Estimated Regulatory Costs (SERC). An updated SERC has been approved by the Board. The following is a Summary of the updated Statement of Estimated Regulatory Costs:
· The estimate of the number of individuals likely to be required to comply with this rule amendment is approximately 25,344 active pharmacist licensees and 2,352 active consultant pharmacist licensees.
· There will be no additional costs incurred by the agency for enforcing the proposed change to the rule.
· The recurring additional transactional cost of $5.00 would be incurred biennially for active registered pharmacists and $50.00 for active consultant pharmacists.
· Small businesses will not be affected. The rule does not require the small business to pay the renewal fee, but if the small business chooses to pay the renewal fee, the impact of the rule amendment will be $5.00 for each registered pharmacist and $50.00 for each consultant pharmacist.
· There is no small county or small city that will be impacted by the proposed rule.
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: Rebecca R. Poston, Executive Director, Board of Pharmacy, 4052 Bald Cypress Way, Bin #C04, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-3254
