NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that on August 10, 2006, the Board of Dentistry has issued an order.

The Board of Dentistry hereby gives notice that it has issued an Order on the Petition for Variance/Waiver, which was filed on August 10, 2006 on behalf of Patricia A. Hornback, D.M.D. The Notice of Petition for Variance/Waiver was published in the F.A.W., Vol. 32, No. 34, August 25, 2006. The Petitioner sought a Variance/Waiver with regard to the provisions requiring appropriate training under Rule 64B5-14.003, F.A.C., entitled, “Training, Education, Certification, and Requirements for Issuance of Permits.” Specifically, the Petitioner requested that the 1 year of advanced training required by Rule 64B5-14.003, F.A.C., be waived for the purpose of Petitioner obtaining a general anesthesia permit under this Rule and that Petitioner’s six month training completed in 1979, being the norm according to rules then, be accepted now for the purpose of obtaining a general anesthesia permit. The Board of Dentistry considered the Petition at its meeting held on September 15, 2006, in Gainesville, Florida. The Board’s Order, filed on October 13, 2006, granted the Petition for waiver of Rule 64B5-14.003, F.A.C., finding that Petitioner does meet the purpose of the underlying statute and has shown that a denial would create a substantial hardship.

A copy of the Order may be obtained by contacting: Sue Foster, Executive Director, Board of Dentistry, 4052 Bald Cypress Way, Bin #C08, Tallahassee, FL 32399-3258.
