Florida Statutes, Rules, and Regulations Common to All Lines
Florida checks an applicant's background at licensure and again requires character certification at appointment. What does the second step add?
Answer and explanation
Answer: C. Section 626.171(4) supports the department's own investigation through fingerprints, while section 626.451(2) and (3) require the appointing entity to certify its own investigation of character and fitness and its willingness to be bound by the licensee's acts. The second step layers private accountability onto public vetting rather than replacing it or moving the licence.Source: Fla. Stat. § 626.171 — 626.171 read with 626.451
