Upcoming Events
Florida Administrative Code Webinar
February 22 (2:00 to 4:00 PM)
Why should you care about the Florida Administrative Code (FAC)? The FAC, in part, is a compilation of all administrative regulatory rules of the State of Florida; you could compare them to municipal resolutions or federal regulations. Violation of rules may include penalties for both agencies and members of the public that are regulated by them. Therefore, it is essential to become acquainted with the FAC, know how to find rules and understand the complex process of their creation.
This session will include the fundamentals of what the FAC is, where rules come from and how they are made, and how to navigate the FAC’s website. These topics will be followed by a presentation of important FAC rules that affect elections, ethics, notary law and public records. The webinar, presented by the Florida Association of City Clerks (FACC) and the Center for Florida Local Government Excellent , will be held February 22 from 2:00 p.m. - 4:00 p.m. EST.
The webinar is $50 for FACC members, $75 for nonmembers.
