Description
Appellants, who are recipients of food stamps, appeal a final order of the Division of Administrative Hearings dismissing, for lack of standing, their challenge to proposed Rule 10C-3.60, Florida Administrative Code, which establishes the terms under which food stamp recipients may be required to participate in a workfare program.{/Cite} Although by its terms, Rule 10C-3.60 purports to be effective throughout the state, the rule will be utilized in only two counties at present, since the legislature has appropriated only enough funds to continue or establish workfare projects in two counties, rather than statewide.{/Cite} Further implementation will take place only when and if specifically authorized by legislative action. Orange County, appellants residence, is not one of the two counties in which a workfare program will be instituted. On these facts we conclude, contrary to the decision of the hearing officer, that appellants have standing to challenge the proposed rule. Nevertheless, we affirm the dismissal of appellants rule challenge on the grounds of mootness for the reasons set forth below.
