Rule Workshops

Written comments are welcome prior to, at, and after the workshop.

Proposed rules are also published in the Florida Administrative Weekly, announcing the Agency's intention to establish or amend a CON rule. If a workshop has been held prior to this Notice, the rule text in the proposed rule incorporates advice from that meeting and other sources. A hearing is then scheduled so that interested parties may present formal testimony or documents about the rule content. Written comments may be submitted prior to or at the hearing. If the Agency elects to modify the rule in response to the hearing testimony or other materials submitted, the revised text will be published in the Florida Administrative Weekly as a Notice of Change.
