The Board of Psychology hereby gives notice of issuance of an Order regarding the Petition for Variance or Waiver, filed September 17, 2014, by Rayna Vaught Godfrey, Ph.D. Notice of Petition for Waiver or Variance was published September 25, 2014, in Vol. 40, No. 187, of the Florida Administrative Register. Petitioner was seeking a variance or waiver of Rule 64B19-11.005, F.A.C., which requires that all applicants for licensure complete at least 2,000 hours of post-doctoral experience under a supervisor whose supervision comports with this rule. The Board considered the Petition at a duly-noticed public meeting held on October 17, 2014, in Miami, Florida.

The Board’s Order, filed November 5, 2014, granted the petition finding that Petitioner has established that the purpose of the underlying statute, Section 490.005, Florida Statutes, would be met were the Petitioner to be granted a variance from the rule. Additionally, the Petitioner does demonstrate how the rule would create a substantial hardship and that it would violate the principles of fairness.

A copy of the Order or additional information may be obtained by contacting: Allen Hall, Executive Director, Department of Health, 4052 Bald Cypress Way Bin #C05, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-3255, [phone], [e-mail].
