Current through Reg. 50, No. 187; September 24, 2024

(1) The board shall hold such meetings during the year as it may deem necessary, one of which shall be the annual meeting held in October at which the chairman and vice-chairman shall be elected. The chairman or a quorum of the Board shall have the authority to call other meetings.

(2) Except in the case of emergencies, the Board shall give at least seven (7) days notice of any meeting to the public generally by publication in the Florida Administrative Register. The notice shall state the date, time and place of the meeting, a brief description of the purpose of the meeting, and the address where persons may write to obtain a copy of the agenda.

(3) The Board shall prepare an agenda in time to insure that a copy may be received at least seven (7) days before the event by any person in the state who has requested a copy and pays the reasonable cost per copy. For good cause stated in the record, items on the agenda may be considered out of their stated order with the approval of the person designated to preside.

(4) Notwithstanding the provisions of subsections (2) and (3), the Board may hold emergency meetings for the purposes of acting on emergency matters affecting the public health, safety and welfare.

(5) All Board proceedings are open to the public.

(6) For the purposes of Board member compensation under subsection (4), of Section 456.011, F.S., "other business involving the Board" is defined to include:

(a) Meetings of committees of the Board;

(b) Meetings of a Board member with Department staff or contractors of the Department at the Board or Department's request. Any participation or meeting of members noticed or unnoticed will be on file in the Board office;

(c) Where a Board member has been requested by the Board or State Surgeon General to participate in a meeting;

(d) Probable cause panel meetings;

(e) Any emergency telephone conference calls; and,

(f) Attendance at the meeting of the Federation of Chiropractic Licensing Boards when attending in the capacity of a Board member.

(7)

(a) Board members shall attend all regularly scheduled Board meetings unless prevented from doing so by reason of court order, subpoena, business with a court which has the sole prerogative of setting the date of such business, conflict with other scheduled business of the Board, death of a family member, illness of the Board member, or hospitalization of the member's immediate family.

(b) No Board member may be absent from three consecutive regularly scheduled Board meetings unless the absence is excused for one of the reasons stated in paragraph (7)(a), of this rule. An absence for any reason other than the reasons stated in paragraph (7)(a), constitutes an unexcused absence for the purpose of declaring a vacancy of the Board. An otherwise excused absence is not excused if the Board member fails to notify the Board office of the impending absence prior to the regularly scheduled Board meeting at which the absence will occur or unless the failure to notify the Board office is the result of circumstances surrounding the reason for the absence which the Board itself excuses after the absence has occurred.

(c) "Family" consists of immediate family, nieces, nephews, cousins, and in-laws.

(d) "Immediate family" consists of spouse, child, parents, parents-in-law, siblings, grandchildren, and grandparents.
