Statutes, as a violation of any State or Federal law by a person with respect to and
directly related to the transaction of business with any public entity in Florida or with an
agency or political subdivision of any other state or with the United States, including, but

Florida Statutes, for category two (currently $10,000) with any person or affiliate on the

placed on the convicted vendor list unless that person or affiliate has been removed from
the list pursuant to Section 287.133(3)(f), Florida Statutes.

trial court of record relating to charges brought by indictment or information after
July 1, 1989, as a result of a jury verdict, nonjury trial, or entry of a plea of guilty

directors, executives, partners, shareholders, employees, members or agents who
are active in management of the entity, or an affiliate of the entity has been
charged with and convicted of a public entity crime subsequent to July 1, 1989,
AND (Please indicate which additional statement applies.)
There has been a proceeding concerning the conviction before a
hearing officer of the State of Florida, Division of Administrative Hearings. The
final order entered by the hearing officer did not place the person or affiliate on
the convicted vendor list. (Please attach a copy of the final order.)

been a subsequent proceeding before a hearing officer of the State of Florida,
Division of Administrative Hearings. The final order entered by the hearing

affiliate from the convicted vendor list. (Please attach a copy of the final order.)
