Proposed Amendment to Subsection 69L-6.025(10), F.A.C.

A Notice of Proposed Rule was published for Rule 69L-6.025, Florida Administrative Code.  The notice provides that if requested in writing, a Rule Hearing will be held on Thursday, May 17th, 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 subsection 69L-6.025(7), F.A.C., will allow employers who have made at least three monthly payments of the agreed amount to enter into a new payment agreement in lieu of making six monthly payments.  Reducing the number of payments required from six to three will shorten the timeframe for entering into a new payment agreement.  The proposed amendment also clarifies that these payments must be based on the employer’s current payment agreement schedule.  The proposed amendment to subsection 69L-6.025(8), F.A.C., further clarifies that the Department will only enter into one payment agreement for the recently served penalty. This verifies that the employer can only have one payment agreement and it must be based on the last served penalty.  The proposed amendment to subsection 69L-6.025(10), F.A.C., will require employers who have been issued a Stop-Work Order or Order of Penalty Assessment to provide address changes to the Department.

The official Notice of Proposed Rule appeared in Volume 44, Number 78 of the Florida Administrative Register, published on April 20, 2018. If you have questions about the contents of this notice, please contact Pam Macon, Chief, Bureau of Compliance, Division of Workers' Compensation at (850) 413-1708 or Pamela.Macon@myfloridacfo.com.

Governor DeSantis Closes the Curtain on COVID Theater

March 7, 2022 Today, Governor Ron DeSantis was joined by Surgeon General Dr. Joseph Ladapo and world-renowned physicians and epidemiologists to discuss the failures of lockdowns and mandates in response to COVID-19. Lockdown politicians and the medical establishment have continually ignored data, instead choosing to stoke fear and push for lockdowns and mask mandates in their fruitless attempts to “stop the spread.” “Over the past two years, the data has shown us what works and what doesn’t work. It is long past time to stop the COVID Theater,” said Governor Ron DeSantis. “In Florida, we told the truth, we let the data drive our response, and we let Floridians make decisions for themselves and their children. As a result, Florida is in a better spot than states who used fear mongering and mandates."
