The Board of Physical Therapy Practice hereby gives notice that on February 29, 2016, an Order was filed on the Petition for Variance or Waiver. The Petition was filed by Renee Navarro, Jr., on January 13, 2016, seeking a variance or waiver from Rule 64B17-3.003, F.A.C., of the requirement that an applicant for licensure have passed the National Physical Therapy Examination by or on the fifth attempt or be precluded from licensure. The Notice was published in Volume 42, No. 14, of the Florida Administrative Register, on January 22, 2016. The Board, at its meeting held on February 5, 2016, voted to deny the Petition for Variance or Waiver finding that the Petitioner did not demonstrate a substantial hardship; that application of the rule did not violate the principles of fairness; and that the purpose of the underlying statute was not met.

A copy of the Order or additional information may be obtained by contacting: the Board of Physical Therapy Practice, Allan Hall, Executive Director, 4052 Bald Cypress Way, Bin #C05, Tallahassee, FL 32399-3255, [phone] or [e-mail].
