Governor's Press Office [Governor'sPressOffice@eog.myflorida.com] 10/27/2017 5:24:02 PM Statement on Emergency Generator Ruling
All,
Please see the below statement regarding DOAH's recent ruling on the emergency generator rule. DOAH's ruling is in contrast to the ruling issued by the First District Court of Appeal last week. For more information on the Governor's emergency generator rules, click HERE.
"It's disappointing that DOAH issued a shortsighted ruling against protecting lives and elderly Floridians. This ruling is in stark contrast with the favorable ruling the First District Court of Appeal issued last week that affirmed these rules were justified by the emergency circumstances. We will file an immediate appeal to the First DCA.
"AHCA will continue the public rule making process, and we will also continue our work with the Florida Legislature to make these critical rules permanent. We will not let special interests get in the way of these life-saving measures." - McKinley Lewis, Deputy Communications Director, Governor Rick Scott
