Regulatory Assistance will be a mainstay of this organization collective efforts. In general, this will consist of providing pertinent agency’ regulations, policies, procedures, practices, compliance education and strategy, rule changes, etc. We will strive to provide members resources and regulatory updates about proposed rules, and or rule changes, obtain their feedback and participate in correct-sizing extra-statutorial’ regulatory over-reach by opposing overly broad language (proposed and current). Overall, this will serve to establish, or re-establish SMART regulation and more reasonable agency action.

We will monitor proposed regulations to determine those that are relevant to our members interests, keeping members informed, attending pertinent regulatory rule-making sessions which are open to the public, providing written and verbal on the record comments, communicating suggested language that creates smarter regulation that holistically serves the entire public by ensuring fairness and reasonable agency action to help keep societal and economic flow, a level playing field, while circumscribing delegated authority within the bounds of law and maintaining natural rights.

The seemingly unintentional far reaching impact on individuals and businesses in Florida, is an intimidating web of interconnected’ regulatory agencies, delegated authority by statute, including licensing and advisory boards, commissions, and administrative courts, etc., creating a complex, multijurisdictional labyrinth of city, county, and state requirements that individuals, employees, sole proprietors, small, medium and large businesses must navigate as if they were boat captain navigating through a minefield, on a dangerous waterway with twists and turns. It often requires expert consultants with vast knowledge of these multiple jurisdictions to assist in remaining in compliance and even than it can be a treacherous path.

In some circumstances, to meet the requirements of one governmental agency or jurisdiction the person(s) needs another regulatory authority to provide something their rules don’t allow and back forth, like a ping-pong ball they go back and forth, looking for someone with common sense to listen. In some circumstances the regulations are so complex that the regulatory agency’s staff don’t fully understand what to do, so depending on which agency, or office within an agency and what civil servant you speak to the same circumstance may be handled differently, potentially making the application of the law arbitrary and capricious, preventing equal protection under the law.
