The division has amended Rule 61C-5.023, F.A.C., effective June 17, 2015. The revised rule allows a citation to be issued to anyone acting as an elevator company without being registered with the division. The division may issue citations for violations that were previously handled as Administrative Complaints and an unlimited number of citations for a repeat violation of the same offense with a fine up to $1000. An elevator owner operating with an expired certificate of operation will be issued a citation. Additionally, citations will no longer be dismissed if the certificate of operation is renewed within 90 days of the issuance of the citation.
A sample Disciplinary Citation and Stop Work Order is available for review. Please contact the division at dhr.rules@myfloridalicense.com with questions about the citation process.
