No. SC10-1013.
Supreme Court of Florida.
May 19, 2011.
Judge William D. Palmer, Chair, Committee on Alternative Dispute Resolution Rules, Fifth District Court of Appeal, Daytona Beach, FL, for Petitioner.
PER CURIAM.
The Supreme Court Committee on Alternative Dispute Resolution Rules and Policy (Committee) filed a petition asking the Court to adopt amendments to rules 10.130 and 10.830. We have jurisdiction. See art. V, § 2(a), Fla. Const.; § 44.106, Fla. Stat. (2010).
Upon consideration of the Committee's petition, we amend rules 10.130 and 10.830 as proposed. First, we amend rule 10.130(a) (Notification of Conviction; Definition) to expand the definition of the term "conviction" to include second-degree misdemeanors involving dishonesty or false statement. Next, we amend rule 10.830 (Sanctions) to provide separate requirements for reinstatement after suspension and reinstatement after decertification under the rule.
Accordingly, Florida Rules for Certified and Court-Appointed Mediators 10.130 and 10.830 are hereby amended as reflected in the appendix to this opinion. New language is indicated by underscoring; deletions are indicated by struck-through type. These amendments shall become effective immediately upon the release of this opinion.
It is so ordered.
CANADY, C.J., and PARIENTE, LEWIS, QUINCE, POLSTON, LABARGA, and PERRY, JJ., concur.
