Petitioner sought a variance or waiver of Rule 64B5-7.0035(5), F.A.C., entitled “Temporary Certificate Requirements for dentists Practicing in State and County Government Facilities.” The Board considered the instant Petition at a duly-noticed public meeting, held August 23, 2013, in Orlando, Florida.

The Board further finds that the Petitioner established that applying the requirements of the aforementioned rule to Petitioner’s circumstances would violate principles of fairness and impose substantial hardship.
