The Board of Physical Therapy hereby gives notice of the issuance of an Order regarding the Petition for Variance or Waiver for Francisco Tangan, filed on October 17, 2013. The Notice of Petition for Variance and Waiver was published in Vol. 39, No. 209, of the October 25, 2013, Florida Administrative Register. The Board considered the Petition at a duly-noticed public meeting held on November 8, 2013. The Petitioner was seeking a permanent variance or waiver of Rule 64B17-3.003, Florida Administrative Code, with regards to the requirement that an applicant for licensure by endorsement demonstrate that he or she meets the requirements of Rule 64B17-3.001, Florida Administrative Code.

The Board’s Order, filed on December 4, 2013, grants the Petition for Variance or Waiver. The Petitioner has demonstrated that the Petition for Variance and Waiver was in substantial compliance with the provisions of Section 120.542, Florida Statutes, and Chapter 28-104, Florida Administrative Code. Petitioner has demonstrated that the purpose of the underlying statute has been met by other means, and that that application of the rule would cause a substantial hardship and would violate principles of fairness.
