Legislation and Rules
Rule Conversion from 64E to 64J
Effective October 15, 2008 the rules that apply to Emergency Medical
Services, Trauma, and 911 Emergency Dispatchers have been moved to Chapter 64J
of the Florida Administrative Code (FAC) to reflect that these rules are
overseen by the Division of Emergency Medical Operations (DEMO).
The rules have been separated into the following categories:
Rules may be viewed and downloaded from the Florida Administrative Weekly & Florida
Administrative Code website at:
http://www.flrules.org
Please note: Existing language that is currently NOT being
promulgated did not change when the rules were converted to this new chapter.
However, the numbers/sections in which you find the rule language may be
different. Please refer to the index that is included with the above rules to
assist you with the transition.
Entities that are regulated under any of these rules must replace old
versions of 64E-2, FAC, with the appropriate rules listed above. The Bureau of
EMS and the Office of Trauma will be working together to remove definitions that
only apply to 64J-2, FAC, from 64J-1. This change requires these offices to go through
the formal rule promulgation process. We apologize for any inconvenience this
may cause, but until the promulgation process is over you will have to reference
64J-1.001, FAC, for Trauma definitions.
