Draft Rules
- A Workshop on the Notice of Proposed Rule Amendment [10K PDF] for the Division of Workers’ Compensation Rule 69L-6.021, Construction Industry Classification Codes, Descriptions and Operations Scope of Exemption, Florida Administrative Code, will be held on Thursday, July 15, 2010 @ 2:00 pm in Room 104J, Hartman Building, 2012 Capital Circle SE, Tallahassee, Florida. The proposed rule amendment deletes discontinued class codes, adds new class codes and revises descriptions of class codes, as published in the Florida exception pages in the National Council on Compensation Insurance, Inc. (NCCI), Basic Manual (January 2010 edition). In addition, the amendment defines when an employer is engaged in the construction industry, for purposes of the rule. As class codes are revised, added or deleted in the Basic Manual, the rule must be amended to accurately reflect and incorporate such changes.

- A Workshop on the Notice of Proposed Rule Amendment [11K PDF] for the Division of Workers’ Compensation Rule 69L-6.007, Compensation Notice, Florida Administrative Code, will be held on Tuesday, June 29, 2010 @ 1:00 pm in Room 2100, Alexander Building, 2020 Capital Circle SE, Tallahassee, Florida. Section 440.40, F.S., requires every employer who has secured workers' compensation insurance to post in its place of business a workers' compensation notice and an Anti-Fraud Reward Program notice. Section 440.40, F.S., also authorizes the Department, by rule, to prescribe the form of the notices and to require carriers to provide the notices to policyholders. Currently, Rule 69L-6.007, F.A.C., requires carriers to furnish employers with a compensation notice, commonly referred to as the "broken arm poster" and incorporates the Anti-Fraud Reward Program notice poster. The purpose of the proposed rule amendment is to update the rule and adopt the revised workers' compensation notice posters, including the Spanish version of the poster.
