64B8-51.001:Manner of Application

The Board of Medicine hereby gives notice of the issuance of an Order regarding the Petition for Variance or Waiver, filed on July 15, 2014, by Marlene Salerno. The Notice of Petition for Waiver or Variance was published in Vol. 40, No. 137, of the July 16, 2014, Florida Administrative Register. Petitioner requested that the Board accept a Certificate of Completion in lieu of the rule requirement in paragraph 64B8-51.001(2), F.A.C., that applicants for licensure as an electrologist submit an official transcript. The Board considered the instant Petition at a duly-noticed public meeting held on August 1, 2014, in Orlando, Florida.

The Board’s Order, filed on September 9, 2014, granted the petition finding that the closure of Petitioner's training program constitutes substantial hardship and that she has met the purpose of the underlying statute through her prior licensure and extensive practical experience as an electrologist.

A copy of the Board’s Order or additional information may be obtained by contacting: Allen Hall, Executive Director, Electrolysis Council, Board of Medicine, 4052 Bald Cypress Way, Bin #C05, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-3255.
