PURPOSE AND EFFECT: To amend existing Chapter 60H-1, Florida Administrative Code, in order to provide greater detail and explanation related to the statutory requirements for leasing of privately owned space by state agencies. This includes responding to comments from the Joint Administrative Procedures Committee (JAPC) and rule conformity with statute changes in Chapters 2007-220, 2007-73 and 2009-77, Laws of Florida.
SUMMARY: Administrative procedures for state agency’s leasing of state-owned or privately owned space will be adjusted to meet continuing and amended statutory requirements. The processes for private leasing activity by state agencies will be updated to reflect obligations for achieving “best interest of the state” leases as indicated in Section 255.25, F.S.
SUMMARY OF STATEMENT OF ESTIMATED REGULATORY COSTS: The agency has determined that this rule will not have an adverse impact on small business activities. No Statement of Estimated Regulatory Costs was prepared.
Any person who wishes to provide information regarding any estimated cost impact must do so in writing within 21 days of this notice. This proposed rule change does impact state agencies requirements and procedures when leasing either public or private space.
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.
