Among the regulatory provisions amended by HB 613 (Chapter 2016-56, Laws of Florida) was the repeal of statutory provisions supporting the Preferred Worker Program under section 440.49, F.S. The aforementioned revision renders Rule Chapter 69L-11, F.A.C., entitled, “Preferred Worker Program,” obsolete; the rule chapter is repealed in its entirety. http://www.myfloridacfo.com/Division/WC/noticesRules.htm
