355FINDING S OF FACT

359I. The Parties

3621. Petitioner is an applicant for a yacht salesperson

371license, pursuant to the Yacht and Ship Brokers Act, c hapter 326,

383Florida Statutes, and Florida Administrative Code C hapter 61B - 60.

394He is 22 years old.

3992. Respondent is the state agency charged under chapter 326

409with licensing yacht salesperson s .

415II. The Evidence Adduced at Hearing

4213. On October 6, 2 015, Petitioner submitted to Respondent a

432complete application for a yacht salesperson license.

4394. On January 6, 2016, Respondent sent Petitioner a Notice

449of Intent to Deny License Application ( " Notice of Intent " ). The

461Notice of Intent stated that Respo ndent was denying Petitioner ' s

473application on the basis that he did " not [provide] satisfactory

483proof that he is of good moral character . "

4925. Respondent based this decision on Petitioner 's

500disclos ure, in his criminal history report required as part of

511the application, that he previously had pled nolo contende r e to a

524felony charge of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon without

534intent to kill , a third degree felony under section 784.021 ,

544Florida Statutes .

5476 . This charge resulted from Petitioner ha ving wav ed a

559firearm outside of his vehicle after being involved in a traffic

570incident with another driver . Petitioner committed the offense

579on November 10, 2012 , when he was 18 years old .

5907 . The court withheld adjudication of guilt on the charged

601off ense . On January 9, 2014, Petitioner was sentenced , as a

613youthful offender , to 120 days in jail and three years ' probation

625without the possibility of early termination.

6318 . Petitioner completed his jail sentence in April 2014,

641and is in the process of completing his probation sentence, which

652will terminate in or about January 2017.

6599 . Upon sentencing, Petitioner was not allowed to leave the

670tri - county area without obtaining a permit and was required to

682report once a month to his probation officer.

69010 . However, because Petitioner had served his jail

699sentence and had fully complied with the conditions of his

709probation over a period of more than two years , in March 2016,

721the c ircuit c ourt j udge who presided over his criminal case

734convert ed his probati on to not - reporting administrative

744proba tion. This has enabled Petitioner to engage in cross -

755country flight sessions necessary to complet e his commercial and

765instrument flight training , discussed in greater detail below .

77411 . Subsequent to his commissi on of the offense but before

786sentencing, Petitioner accepted the help of Dr. Anthony M.

795Castro, a practi cing clinical psychologist and assistant

803professor of clinical p sychiatry at the University of Miami's

813Miller School of Medicine. Petitioner has been c onsistent ly

823involved in treatment sessions with Dr. Castro since he began

833seeing him over two years ago. Petitioner continued to

842correspond with Dr. Castro via mail while he was serving his jail

854sentence , and continued his in - person counseling sessions

863im mediately following his release from jail . Over the course of

875his treatment, Petitioner has attended sessions with Dr. Castro

884on a bi - weekly to monthly basis , has continued to respond well

897to the counseling, and has remain ed compliant with all of

908Dr. Ca stro ' s recommendations. The evidence shows that Petitioner

919has experienced significant personal growth as a result of the

929counseling, and that he exhibits more effective problem - solving

939skills and better manages his behavi or and emotional responses

949than h e did before the counseling .

95712 . Since April 2015, Petitioner has taken helicopter

966flight lessons . 2 / He is instructed by He len Brazier, an

979instructor and assistant chief for h elicopters at Pelican Flight

989Training in Pembroke Pines. Petitioner has obtai ned his private

999pilot's license and currently is training to receive his

1008comm ercial and instrument licenses.

101313 . At the hearing, Brazier credibly testified that

1022possessing maturity, good judgment skills , sound ethical values,

1030self - discipline, motivation , and dependability are essential to

1039obtain ing a private pilot ' s license. This is because being a

1052pilot entail s substantial responsibility , in that the pilot has

1062others ' lives in his or her hands. Brazier testified ,

1072persuasively, that Petitioner is " a ver y good student . . . and

1085completed everything in minimum time, and with very good

1094results. " Brazier testified that she will recommend Petitioner

1102for his commercial pilot license upon Petitioner's completion of

1111the requisite coursework , based , among other things, on her

1120positive evaluation of his moral character.

112614 . I n order to obtain a pilot 's license, applicants must

1139be determined by the Federal Aviation Administration ( " FAA " ) to

1150have good moral character , in addition to providing all required

1160document ation and successfully completing flying examinations.

1167Evaluation of an applicant ' s character begins with a

1177recommendation from the flight instructor, but the FAA has the

1187ultimate authority to accept or deny the applicant based on a

1198review of the applican t ' s criminal history. The FAA found

1210Petitioner to have good moral character , as evidenced by their

1220approval of his private pilot license.

122615 . Petitioner's progress in flight school and his display

1236of personal growth over the past two years led the cir cuit court

1249judge presiding over his criminal case to modify Petitioner's

1258probation, thus enabling Petitioner to fly out of the tri - county

1270area without obtain ing a permi t and not requiring him to continue

1283to report monthly to his probation officer.

12901 6 . At the hearing, Petitioner credibly explained the

1300circumstances under which he committed the offense. Petitioner

1308had been frustrated by several unfortunate events in his life

1318that culminated in the road rage incident that resulted in his

1329felony charge. Petitioner testified that a motorcycle incident 3 /

1339and the decline of his profits at work increased his overall

1350frustration prior to his poor decision to wave a firearm outside

1361of his vehicle. He explained, persuasively , that it was more an

" 1372ignorant " act than one of malice, and that it was more of an act

1386of "not knowing any better" than one of bad moral character. He

1398characterized the consequences of his actions as a " wake - up

1409call." He expressed regret and remorse for his behavior in

1419committing the offen se.

142317 . Petitioner testified, credibly and persuasively , that

1431through his counseling sessions with Dr. Castro , he has learned

1441to be patien t , to "wait for the dust to settle" before acting ,

1454and not to overreact to circumstances and situations .

146318 . Pet itioner currently is employed full - time as a

1475production manager at Pro Marine, a boat - building company. His

1486responsibilities entail supervising the construction process for

1493each vessel and consigning completed vessel s to client s .

150419 . The evidence establ ishes that apart from the matter

1515discussed above, Petitioner does not have any other criminal

1524history. There is no evidence in the record indicating that

1534Petitioner has ever engaged in any fraudulent conduct or that he

1545is in any manner dishonest. 4/

15512 0 . Che lisa Kirkland, supervisor of Respondent's Yacht and

1562Ship Broker's Section, testif ied regarding Respondent's proposed

1570denial of Petitioner's yacht salesperson license.

157621 . In evaluating Petitioner ' s application for licensure ,

1586Respondent applied r ule 61B - 60.003 . Kirkland testified that

1597Respondent's decision to deny Petitioner's license was based on

1606his criminal history as disclosed in his application . She noted

1617that Petitioner did not submit any information in his application

1627regarding his rehabi litation, and that had such information been

1637s ubmitted, Respondent would have consi dered it in determining

1647whether he possessed good moral character for purposes of

1656grant ing or deny ing his application for a yacht salesperson

1667license .

166922. Respondent did not present any evidence at the final

1679hearing countering or rebutting Petitioner's evidence of his

1687rehabilitation that was presented at the final hearing .

1696III. Findings of Ultimate Fact

17012 3 . Upon full consideration of the competent substantial

1711evidence in the record , it is determined that Petitioner has

1721demonstrated, by a preponderance of the evidence, that he is

1731rehabilitated from his prior criminal offense such that he

1740possesses good moral character for purposes of being entitled to

1750issuance of a yacht salesperson license under chapter 326 and

1760rule 61B - 60.003 .

17652 4 . Petitioner has been honest and forth coming regarding

1776h is criminal offense . As noted above, h e fully disclosed his

1789criminal h istory in his application and , at the hearing,

1799acknowledged that h is conduct was inexcusable and expressed

1808remorse at having committed the offense.

18142 5 . Petitioner showed , by credible and compelling evidence

1824presented at the final hearing , that he recognized his anger

1834management issues , and he took the initiative to turn his life

1845around by voluntarily obtaining the assistance of Dr. Castro for

1855mental health counseling. The evidence establishes that

1862Petitioner has learned effective strategies and appropriate

1869behaviors for dealing with stressful situations. The evidence

1877f urther shows that he likely will continue to improve as he work s

1891toward and meet s his personal and professional goals. Petitioner

1901has shown that he understands that the behavior he exhibited when

1912he was 18 years old that led to his criminal record is

1924unac ceptable.

19262 6 . Petitioner has further shown good moral character

1936through his actions involved in obtaining his private pilot

1945license and by receiving positive evaluations regarding his moral

1954character from the FAA. Petitioner's and Brazier's credible and

1963persuasive testimony establish that Petitioner possesses the

1970sound judgment , strong ethic al values, maturity, focus, mental

1979and behavioral stability, and self - discipline that are essential

1989to demonstrating rehabilitation and establishing that he

1996possesses good moral character .

20012 7 . For these reasons, it is determined that Petitioner has

2013shown , by a preponderance of the competent substantial evidence

2022in the record, that he is rehabilitated such that he possesses

2033good moral character and, thus, is entitled to issuance of a

2044yacht salesperson license under chapter 326 and rule 61B - 60.003 .

2056CONCLUSIONS OF LAW

20592 8 . DOAH has jurisdiction over the parties to, and subject

2071matter of, this proceeding pursuant to sections 120.569 and

2080120.57(1).

20812 9 . This is a de novo proceeding, the purpose of which is

2095to " formulate agency action, not to review action taken earlier

2105and preliminarily. " Dep ' t of Transp. v. J.W.C. Co. , 396 So. 2d

2118778, 785 (Fla. 1st DCA 1981); Capeletti Bros. Inc. v. Dep ' t of

2132Transp. , 362 So. 2d 346, 348 (Fla. 1st DCA 1978); McDonald v.

2144Dep ' t of Banking and Fin. , 346 So. 2d 569, 584 (Fla. 1st DCA

21591977). Accordingly, the undersigned is charged with determining

2167anew, based on the evidence presented at the final hearing , 5 /

2179whether Petitioner has met the stat utory and rule requirements

2189such that he is entitled to issuance of a yacht salesperson

2200license.

220130 . As the applicant for a yacht salesperson license,

2211Petitioner bears the burden to demonstrate, by a preponderance of

2221the evidence, 6/ that he meets all app licable licensure

2231requirements such that he is entitled to issuance of the license.

2242J.W.C. Co. , 396 So. 2d at 787.

22493 1 . Section 326.004(6)(a), which sets forth the

2258requirements for licensure of yacht salespersons, provides in

2266pertinent part: " [t] he divi sion may deny a license to any

2278applicant who does not [f]urnish proof satisfactor y to the

2288division that he or she is of good moral character. "

22983 2 . Rule 61B - 60.003 , governing applications for yacht

2309salespersons ' licenses, requires , among other things, a

2317d etermination o f the applicant ' s moral character . Th is rule

2331provides in pertinent part:

2335(3) Review for Good Moral Character.

2341(a) When the application has been determined

2348to be in acceptable form, the division shall

2356evaluate the application and make appr opriate

2363inquiry to determine the applicant ' s mo ral

2372character. For the purposes of this rule, the

2380following factors bear upon good moral

2386character:

23871. The completion of a criminal history check

2395by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement

2402that reveals no convictions of a felony, no

2410convictions of a misdemeanor involving moral

2416turpitude, and no pleas of nolo contendere,

2423pleas of guilty, or verdicts of guilty to a

2432felony charge or of any non - felonious offense

2441involving moral turpitude, fraud, theft,

2446dishone sty, assault and battery, or false

2453statement [ . ]

2457* * *

24606. Failure of the applicant to provide full

2468and complete disclosure, or to provide

2474accurate information, on the application for

2480licensure.

24817. The foregoing factors shall be considered

2488in d etermining whether an applicant is of

2496good moral character for purposes of

2502licensure under Chapter 326, F.S., if they

2509comply with the following guidelines:

2514a. The disposition of criminal charges shall

2521be considered if such constitutes a felony, or

2529if suc h constitutes a misdemeanor involving

2536moral turpitude, fraud, theft, dishonesty,

2541assault and battery, or false statement.

2547* * *

2550c. Except as provided in sub - sub - paragraph

25607.d. of this rule, no information relating to

2568criminal, administrative or civil actions

2573shall be considered if more than 5 years has

2582elapsed from the satisfaction of the terms of

2590any order, judgment, restitution agreement, or

2596termination of any administrative or

2601judicially - imposed confinement or supervision

2607of the applicant, whi chever is more recent.

2615* * *

2618e. Other considerations such as termination

2624of probation, compliance with and satisfaction

2630of any judgment or restitution agreement may

2637be considered as evidence of rehabilitation of

2644the applicant ' s good moral charac ter.

26523 3 . As discussed above, Petitioner fully disclosed in his

2663application that he had pled nolo contender e to assault with a

2675deadly weapon without intent to kill.

26813 4 . R ule 61B - 60.003(3)(a)7. lists factors that " shall " be

2694considered in determining w hether the applicant is of good moral

2705character.

27063 5 . Pursuant to sub - sub - paraqraph a., disposition of felony

2720criminal charges must be considered. As noted above, the

2729evidence establishes that adjudication of Petitioner's guilt for

2737that offense was wit hheld.

27423 6 . Pursuant to sub - sub - paragraph c. of the rule,

2756Petitioner ' s criminal history must be considered because it

2766involved a felony and five years has not elapsed since

2776Petitioner ' s satisfa ction of the terms of the judgment against

2788him .

27903 7 . However, the plain language of rule 61B - 60.003

2802(3) (a) 7.e . makes clear that even when an applicant has a criminal

2816h istory and five years have not elapsed since satisfaction of the

2828terms of judgment, he or she still may be determined to be

2840rehabilitated and, thus, of good moral character, based on other

2850considerations.

28513 8 . As discussed in detail above, Petitioner presented

2861competent, credible, and persuasive evidence at the final hearing

2870showing that he is rehabilitat ed from his criminal offense and

2881that he is of " good moral character " pursuant to r ule 61B - 60.003

2895and as required by section 326. 004(6)(a). 7/

290339 . Based on the foregoing, it is concluded that Petitioner

2914is entitled to issuance of a yacht salesperson license under

2924chapter 326 and rule 61B - 6 0.003 .

2933RECOMMENDATION

2934Based on the foregoing Findings of Fact and Conclusions of

2944Law, it is RECOMMENDED that the Department of Business and

2954Professional Regulation issue a final o rder approving

2962Petitioner ' s a pplication for a yach t salesperson license.

3043ENDNOTES

30441/ All references are to the 2016 version of Florida Statutes

3055unless otherwise stated.

30582/ Because being a yacht salesperson is a part - time occupation,

3070Petitioner also is working toward being licensed as a commercial

3080pilot.

30813/ Petitioner previously had been severely injured in a

3090motorcycle accident .

30934/ To that point, as noted above, Petitioner fully disclosed his

3104criminal history on his application for a yacht salesperson

3113license.

31145/ The undersigned recognizes that the evidence of rehabilitation

3123provided at the final hearing that supports the d etermination that

3134Petitioner is of good moral character was not available to

3144Respondent at the time it reviewed Petitioner's application.

3152However, this is a de novo proceeding. § 120.57(1)(k), Fla. Stat.

3163Accordingly, it is necessary and appropriate for the undersigned

3172to consider all competent substantial evidence in the record of

3182this proceeding, including information not available to Respondent

3190at the time it formulated its proposed agency action. See J.W.C.

3201Co. , 396 So. 2d at 784 - 85.

32096/ In its Propo sed Recommended Order, Respondent cites Espinoza

3219v. Department of Business and Professional Regulation, Florida

3227Board of Engineers , 739 So. 2d 1250 (Fla. 3d DCA 1999) , for the

3240proposition that, in addition to showing entitlement to a license

3250by a preponder ance of the evidence, Petitioner also must show that

3262the agency's decision to deny his license was arbitrary and

3272capricious. Even a cursory reading of Espinoza reveals that it is

3283completely distinguishable from, and therefore inapposite to, this

3291case. Es pinoza , and the case on which it is grounded, Harac v.

3304Department of Professional Regulation, Board of Architecture , 484

3312So. 2d 1333 (Fla. 3d DCA 1986), involved circumstances where an

3323applicant for a professional license had not satisfied the

3332licensure ex amination requirements ÏÏ a key and dispositive

3341distinction between those cases and the instant case. In Harac ,

3351the court noted that generally, one who fails a licensure

3361examination shoulders a heavy burden in proving that the

3370evaluation was arbitrary. Id . at 1338. Likewise, in State ex

3381rel. Topp v. Board of Elec trical Examiners for Jacksonville Beach ,

3392101 So. 2d 583, 586 (Fla. 1st DCA 1958), cited in Harac , the court

3406noted that where city examining boards conduct their examinations

3415fairly and uniformly in accordance with their own rules and

3425regulations, their judgment as to proper grading of such

3434examinations will not be disturbed by courts unless clearly shown

3444to be devoid of logic and reason. Espinoza , Harac , and their

3455antecessors and progeny are applic able to the specific

3464circumstances where an applicant disputes denial of a license

3473based on a determination that he or she failed to satisfy a

3485licensure examination requirement . No such circumstances are

3493present in this case, and Respondent failed to prov ide any legal

3505authority whatsoever to support extension of the principle applied

3514in Espinoza , Harac , and their antecessors and progeny to

3523circumstances, such as those present in this case, that do not

3534involve denial of a license on the basis of failing to satisfy a

3547licensure examination requirement.

35507/ In support of its position that Petitioner has not

3560demonstrated good moral character, Respondent states that after

3568Petitioner filed his request for hearing challenging its proposed

3577denial, Respondent's Divi sion d irector and counsel conferred and

3587that the Division "ultimately determined, in its discretion, that

3596such evidence was not satisfactory proof that Petitioner is of

3606good moral character." That position is rejected for three

3615reasons. First, Respondent did not present any evidence at the

3625hearing regarding its subsequent consideration of Petitioner's

3632rehabilitation, so the record is devoid of evidence to support

3642Respondent's representation on that point. Second, even if

3650Respondent had presented such evi dence, it would not have been

3661dispositive because, as discussed at length above, this is a de

3672novo proceeding designed to formulate agency action, not review

3681action taken earlier and preliminarily. As such, the purpose of

3691this hearing is to determine anew , in an evidentiary proceeding,

3701whether Petitioner is rehabilitated from his criminal offense such

3710that he is of good moral character for purposes of entitlement to

3722a yacht salesperson license. As discussed herein, the competent

3731substantial evidence in th e record establishes that Petitioner is

3741rehabilitated and is of good moral character, so is entitled to

3752issuance of a license. Third, under any circumstanc es, Respondent

3762did not present evidence at the final hearing countering or

3772rebutting Petitioner's cr edible, persuasive evidence that he is

3781rehabilitated from his criminal offense for purposes of

3789demonstrating good moral character. While rule 61B - 60.003 invests
