Commission keeps 'FFWCC' acronym for Florida Fish and Wildlife in comp plan language
Summary
Members debated acronyms and consistency and voted to keep the full agency name followed by the acronym 'FFWCC' in the comp plan language to preserve accuracy and cross-references in other comp-plan sections.
Commissioners discussed whether to use the shorter 'FWC' acronym or the longer 'FFWCC' abbreviation and whether to remove acronyms altogether. Staff cautioned that the comp plan contains the full acronym elsewhere and changing it could create inconsistencies. After discussion the commission voted to leave the full name 'Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission' followed by the acronym 'FFWCC' in the comp-plan text.
Members noted the choice is mainly about clarity in the document and does not change policy substance. Staff said functionally it makes no difference but acknowledged it creates an editorial consistency question across the plan.
