The Board of Chiropractic Medicine hereby gives notice:

Of the issuance of an Order regarding the Petition for Waiver or Variance, which was filed on June 30, 2014, by Elisa Leavitt on behalf of Alan R. Leavitt, D.C. The Notice of Petition for Waiver or Variance was published in Volume 40, Number 145, of the July 28, 2014, Florida Administrative Register. The Petitioner was seeking a waiver or variance of Rule 64B2-13.004, Florida Administrative Code, entitled “Continuing Education,” which requires that for the purpose of renewing a license, an applicant must demonstrate to the Board that he or she participated in at least forty (40) classroom hours of continuing chiropractic education during the past two years. The Board considered the instant Petition at a duly-noticed meeting, held August 22, 2014, in Orlando, Florida.

The Board’s Order, filed on September 15, 2014, granted the petition finding that Petitioner had established that the purpose of the underlying statute would be met by granting a temporary variance or waiver from Rule 64B2-13.004, F.A.C. The Board further finds that Petitioner established that applying the requirements of the aforementioned rule to his circumstances would violate principles of fairness and impose substantial hardship.

A copy of the Order or additional information may be obtained by contacting: Adrienne Rodgers, Executive Director, Board of Chiropractic Medicine, 4052 Bald Cypress Way, Bin #C07, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-3257.
