Overview

RULE:

60Y-3.001

Definitions

PURPOSE:

The proposed amendment to rule 60Y- 60Y-3.001(8) strikes the “Department of Management Services” (DMS) from the definition of Division of Administrative Hearings (DOAH) to enforce DOAH’s enabling statute which specifies DOAH is an independent budget entity and is not subject to DMS supervision in many key areas. This addresses concerns about impartiality and accountability.
60Y-3.001(14) strikes “General Counsel” to reflect the accurate title of the Commission’s legal advisor.
60Y-3.001(30) specifies that electronic filing does not include filing by facsimile or email.
60Y-3.001(32) adds a definition of “vexatious litigant” as a person who engages in specific actions.

SUMMARY:

Provides a definition of vexatious litigant and specifies how complaints should be filed with the Commission.
