PURPOSE:

In 1988, the Legislature created a large grant program to help counties and municipalities develop recycling and education programs, along with lesser grants for waste tire programs and to help small counties manage solid waste. The Department adopted Chapter 62-716, F.A.C., to implement all of these grants programs. Over time, funding for the recycling and education grants declined, and a few years ago the Legislature stopped funding them altogether. This rule chapter is being amended to delete obsolete references to grants that no longer exist.
At about the same time that the recycling and education grants were being phased out, the Innovative Grants were being introduced. From 1998 through 2001, the Legislature authorized these grants a year at a time as a line item in its budget. In 2002, the program was finally codified in Section 403.7095, Florida Statutes. The Department has administered the Innovative Grants program on an ad hoc basis since 1998. This was partly because the status of the program was uncertain from year to year, and partly because of the need to spend time developing policies and processes that would effectively implement a statute that lacked clear standards. This rule chapter is being amended to incorporate those policies and processes through rulemaking.
