LAW-6249 FLORIDA ADMIN LAW & ENVIR REG
The course will present a survey of Florida environmental regulations and permits. The bases of Florida environmental laws and regulations in Florida are constitutional and statutory, but the regulations and permits required or allowed under the laws are typically implemented and enforced pursuant to agency rules, hearings, and rulings pursuant to Chapter 120, Florida Statutes, the Florida Administrative Procedures Act. The course will survey the nature and scope of Florida's environmental laws, consider the issuance of permits and enforcement of violations of Florida environmental laws, and introduce students to practice under the Florida Administrative Procedures Act. Students will learn that some permits are voluntarily sought as a condition of land use or development activity, whereas other permits arise out of an obligation imposed as a result of a violation of environmental laws or as a condition of engaging in certain activities or businesses that have environmental impacts. Students will be assessed based on a final examination. There are no prerequisites.
