Petitioner also sought a waiver or variance of Rule 64B4-2.002(1)(a), F.A.C., entitled, “Definition of ‘Supervision’ for Clinical Social Work, Marriage and Family Therapy and Mental Health Counseling,” which states that an intern shall be credited for the time of supervision required by Section 491.005, F.S., if the intern received at least 100 hours of supervision in no less than 100 weeks.
The Board considered the instant Petition at a duly-noticed meeting, held August 10, 2017, in Tampa, Florida. The Board’s Order, filed on November 8, 2017, granted the petition finding that Petitioner had established that the purpose of the underlying statute would be met by granting a variance or waiver from Rules 64B4-2.001 and 64B4-2.002, F.A.C. The Board further finds that Petitioner established that applying the requirements of the aforementioned rule to his circumstances would violate principles of fairness and impose substantial hardship.
