QUICK REFRESH OF STATE LAW (Just because I am a nerd) correct answer: The Constitution of Florida is the foremost source of state law. Legislation is enacted by the Florida Legislature and published in the "Laws" of Florida... and codified in the Florida "Statutes". State agencies publish "regulations" (sometimes called administrative law) in the Florida "Administrative Register" (FAR)... which are in turn codified in the Florida "Administrative Code" (FAC). SO BASICALLY... Florida "Laws" are listed in order they are presented (in a given year) and organized (codified) into statutes Florida "Regulations" are listed in order they are presented (in a given year) and organized (codified) in the administrative code. The Florida Administrative Code (FAC) is the official compilation of administrative rules for the state of Florida. The Department of State oversees the publishing of the FAC and updates it weekly. A rule is an official statement that implements, interprets, or prescribes law or policy or describes the procedure or practice requirements of an agency and includes any form which imposes any requirement or solicits any information not specifically required by law or by an existing rule. The term also includes the amendment or repeal of a rule.
