A Notice of Development of Rulemaking was published for
proposed Rule 69L-6.025, Florida Administrative Code. The notice provides that if requested in
writing, a Rule Workshop will be held on Tuesday, February 20, at 9:30 A.M.,
eastern time, at 2012 Capital Circle, SE, Room 102, Hartman Building, in
Tallahassee, Florida.
The proposed amendment to paragraph 69L-6.025(4)(b),
F.A.C., will allow employers an additional opportunity to remain compliant with
their payment agreement schedules by increasing the number of times the
Department will rescind an Order Reinstating Stop-Work Order from two to three
in any one case. The proposed amendment to paragraph 69L-6.025(7)(c), F.A.C.,
will allow employers whose Reinstatement of Stop-Work Orders have been rescinded,
the opportunity to enter into new payment agreements after making three monthly
payments of the original agreed amount. Currently, the employer is required to
make six monthly payments of the original agreed amount after the rescission of
the Reinstatement of the Stop-Work Order prior to entering into a new payment
agreement. Reducing the number of payments required from six to three will
shorten the timeframe for entering into a new payment agreement.
The official Notice of Development of Rulemaking appeared
in Volume 44, Number 24 of the Florida Administrative Register, published on
February 5, 2018. If you have questions about the contents of this notice,
