NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Board of Massage Therapy has issued an order disposing of the petition for declaratory statement filed by William M. Bracey on March 24, 2015. The following is a summary of the agency's disposition of the petition:

The Notice of Petition for Declaratory Statement was published in Volume 41, No. 64, of the April 2, 2015, Florida Administrative Register. The petition seeks a declaratory statement from the Board as to whether the use of cold laser therapy or low level laser therapy by a trained therapist would be within the scope of the definition of "massage" in section 480.033, Florida Statutes. The Board’s Order, filed on August 11, 2015, declined to issue a declaratory statement because the petition is not in substantial compliance with the provisions of section 120.565, Florida Statutes, and Rule 28-105, Florida Administrative Code.

A copy of the Order Disposing of the Petition for Declaratory Statement may be obtained by contacting: Claudia Kemp, Executive Director, Board of Massage Therapy, 4052 Bald Cypress Way, Bin #C06, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-3258, [phone], [e-mail].
