16 insert:
17 Section 64. Paragraph (d) of subsection (3) of section
18 310.0015, Florida Statutes, is amended to read:
19 310.0015 Piloting regulation; general provisions.--
20 (3) The rate-setting process, the issuance of licenses
21 only in numbers deemed necessary or prudent by the board, and
22 other aspects of the economic regulation of piloting
23 established in this chapter are intended to protect the public
24 from the adverse effects of unrestricted competition which
25 would result from an unlimited number of licensed pilots being
26 allowed to market their services on the basis of lower prices
27 rather than safety concerns. This system of regulation
28 benefits and protects the public interest by maximizing
29 safety, avoiding uneconomic duplication of capital expenses
30 and facilities, and enhancing state regulatory oversight. The

1 taking into consideration the normal uncertainties of vessel
2 traffic and port usage, sufficient to maintain reliable,
3 stable piloting operations. Pilots have certain restrictions
4 and obligations under this system, including, but not limited
5 to, the following:
6 (d)1. The pilot or pilots in a port shall train and
7 compensate all member deputy pilots in that port. Failure to
8 train or compensate such deputy pilots shall constitute a
9 ground for disciplinary action under s. 310.101. Nothing in
10 this subsection shall be deemed to create an agency or
11 employment relationship between a pilot or deputy pilot and
12 the pilot or pilots in a port.
13 2. The pilot or pilots in a port shall establish a
14 competency-based mentor program by which minority persons, as
15 defined in s. 288.703(3), may acquire the skills for the
16 professional preparation and education competency requirements
17 of a licensed state pilot or certificated deputy pilot. The
18 department shall provide the Governor, the President of the
19 Senate, and the Speaker of the House of Representatives with a
20 report each year on the number of minority persons, as defined
21 in s. 288.703(3), who have participated in each mentor
22 program, who are licensed state pilots or certificated deputy
23 pilots, and who have applied for state pilot licensure or
24 deputy pilot certification.
