The Board of Clinical Laboratory Personnel hereby gives notice of the issuance of an Order regarding the Petition for Waiver or Variance, which was filed on July 17, 2014, by Christopher Skillington. The Notice of Petition for Waiver or Variance was published in Volume 40, Number 147, of the July 30, 2014, Florida Administrative Register. The Petitioner was seeking a waiver or variance of Rule 64B3-11.001, Florida Administrative Code, entitled, “Continuing Education,” which requires that in order to renew a clinical laboratory personnel license, a minimum of 24 contact hours of continuing education shall be earned during each biennium.

The Board considered the instant Petition at a duly-noticed public meeting, held on August 8, 2014, in Orlando, Florida. The Board’s Order, filed on August 22, 2014, granted the petition finding that Petitioner established that the purpose of the underlying statute would be met by granting a variance or waiver from Rule 64B3-11.001, 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 Clinical Laboratory Personnel, 4052 Bald Cypress Way, Bin #C07, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-3257.
