The Board of Orthotists and Prosthetists hereby gives notice of issuance of an Order regarding the Petition for Emergency Waiver, filed September 18, 2014, by Steven R. Hall. Notice of Petition for Emergency Waiver was published September 25, 2014, in Vol. 40, No. 187, of the Florida Administrative Register. Petitioner requested an emergency waiver of the requirement in Rules 64B14-4.003, F.A.C., that the Petitioner submit a log confirming 1900 hours of orthotic experience in support of his licensure application. The Board considered the Petition at a duly-noticed public meeting held on October 17, 2014, in Kissimmee, Florida.

The Board’s Order, filed November 12, 2014, granted the Petition finding that the Petitioner has demonstrated he meets the purpose of the underlying statute by other means, has demonstrated a substantial hardship, and has demonstrated that application of the rules at issue would violate principles of fairness as defined by §120.542, F.S. and Chapter 28-104, F.A.C.

A copy of the Order or additional information may be obtained by contacting: Adrienne Rodgers, Executive Director, Board of Orthotists and Prosthetists, 4052 Bald Cypress Way, Bin #C07, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-3257, [phone], [e-mail].
