    61H1-33.001: Certified Public Accountants Required to Comply with this Chapter

    NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN THAT on August 28, 2008, the Board of Accountancy has issued an order.

    The Order is regarding the Petition for Waiver or Variance, filed on March 19, 2008, by Brian Pinnell. The Notice of Petition for Waiver or Variance was published in Vol. 34, No. 14, of the April 4, 2008, Florida Administrative Weekly. Petitioner sought a waiver or variance of subsection 61H1-33.001(1), F.A.C., entitled “Certified Public Accountants Required to Comply with this Chapter” which requires that each licensee on or before December 31, prior to biennial license renewal, complete on-line or mail completed answers to the Florida Laws and Rules examination. The Board considered the instant Petition at a duly-noticed public meeting, held April 30, 2008, in Tampa, Florida.

    The Board’s Order granted the petition finding that Petitioner established that the purpose of the underlying statute, Section 473.311, F.S., would be met by granting a variance or waiver from subsection 61H1-33.001(1), F.A.C. The Board further found that Petitioner had established that applying the requirements of the aforementioned rules to his circumstances would violate principles of fairness and impose substantial hardship.

    A copy of the Order may be obtained by contacting: Veloria Kelly, Division Director, Board of Accountancy, 240 N. W. 76th Dr., Suite A, Gainesville, Florida 32607.
