Which document would you consult to see the current official Florida agency rules and regulations?

• A. Florida Administrative Code & Register
• B. Florida Statutes
• C. Florida Center for Nursing
• D. Florida Board of Nursing

Answer: (A)

When you need the current official rules and regulations from Florida agencies, you look at the administrative rule framework rather than statutes or a board-specific page. The Florida Administrative Code contains the codified rules that agencies adopt, and the Florida Register provides the notices of proposed and final rules, ensuring you can see what is in effect now. In short, the regulatory text you want lives in the Administrative Code, with the Register showing the ongoing rulemaking process and updates. The Florida Statutes are the laws enacted by the Legislature and are not the day-to-day rules; the Florida Board of Nursing is the licensing authority, but its rules are published within the Administrative Code. The Florida Center for Nursing is a workforce research/resource organization, not the repository for official rules.
