05/11/2006 DISP-AMENDED/ADOPTED   In adopting these amendments, the Court thanks the Committee on Alternative Dispute Resolution Rules and Policy for its continued dedication in advising the Court on alternative dispute resolution policies and procedures. See In re Report of the Alternative Dispute Resolution Rules & Policy Comm. on Senior Judges as Mediators, 915 So. 2d 145 (Fla. 2005) (evaluating practice of senior judges serving as mediators and making recommendations concerning practice which were adopted by Court). The Court particularly recognizes the Committee's efforts to ensure that Florida remains a leader in court-authorized mediation and appreciates the hard work that went into the Committee's petition and proposed amendments to the rules governing Florida's certified mediators. Accordingly, we amend the Florida Rules for Certified and Court-Appointed Mediators as reflected in appendix A to this opinion. New language is indicated by underscoring; deletions are indicated by struck-through type. We also approve, on an interim basis, the mediator certification requirements point system outlined in administrative order AOSC06-9 contained in appendix B to this opinion. The amendments shall become effective August 1, 2006, at 12:01 a.m.
