Florida Division of Workers’ Compensation Rules Relating to Business Record Maintenance and Stop Work Order Conditional Release Effective September 6, 2015
Aug 18, 2015
Revised regulations relating to business record maintenance and conditional release of stop work orders become effective September 6, 2015, the Florida Division of Workers’ Compensation (“DWC”) advised today, August 18, 2015.
Changes to Rule 69L-6.015, F.A.C. reduce the business record retention period requirements for employers under Florida’s Workers’ Compensation law to a period consisting of an employer’s two, rather than three, years of employment activity.
Amendments to Rule 69L-6.025, F.A.C. modify the terms and conditions under which the DWC is authorized to issue an Agreed Order of Conditional Release from Stop-Work Order to employers who violate Chapter 440, F.S., as well as the circumstances under which such orders will be reinstated and rescinded. The new Rule also incorporates a new form and revises existing forms.
Both Rules were amended to conform to applicable provisions of Section 440.107, F.S. as revised under Chapter No. 2014-109, Laws of Florida.
While not yet updated accordingly on the Florida Administrative Register, the Rules and their history can be accessed at: https://www.flrules.org/gateway/ChapterHome.asp?Chapter=69L-6.
