Whereas, Florida Traffic Court Rule 6.110 (a) requires that the Chief Judge of the Circuit Court shall issue an administrative order designating the schools at which attendance is required;

Whereas, Section 316.613(5), Florida Statutes, allows a person with the court's approval to participate in a child restraint safety program approved by the chief judge of the circuit in which the violation occurs; and

Whereas, Section 318.1451(1)(a) Florida Statutes, provides that the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles must approve the courses of all driver improvement schools, as the courses relate to sections 318.14(9), 322.0261, and 322.291, Florida Statutes, and the chief judge of a judicial circuit may establish requirements regarding the location of schools within that judicial circuit. It is, therefore

ORDERED that the courses and programs approved by the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles as referenced above are hereby recognized by this circuit. This circuit will not establish any additional requirements regarding such courses or programs located within this circuit.

This order replaces Administrative Order 7.840(C), entitled In Re: Northeast Florida Safety Council, Inc., DUI Program, dated June 30, 1992.

ORDERED on August 24, 2001.
