The Florida Real Estate Appraisal Board hereby gives notice of the issuance of an Order regarding the Petition for Variance, filed August 23, 2013, by Leonard Baldassano. The Notice of Petition for Waiver or Variance was published in Vol. 39, No. 209, of the October 25, 2013, Florida Administrative Register. The Board considered the Petition at a duly-noticed public meeting held on December 9, 2013. Petitioner sought a waiver or variance of Rule 61J1-4.007, F.A.C., in regards to the requirements that an applicant with an inactive license status must complete 100 hours of approved pre-certification courses, 30 hours of ABII with an end of course exam and a 7 hour USPAP update course in order for an application to return to an active status.

The Board’s Order, filed on January 30, 2014, denies the petition finding that Petitioner has not established that the Petitioners will have met the purpose of the underlying statute, or that he has suffered a substantial hardship or that the principles of fairness are violated in this matter as opposed to someone similarly situated.

A copy of the Order or additional information may be obtained by contacting: Juana Watkins, Division Director, Division of Real Estate, 400 West Robinson Street, Hurston Building, North Tower, Suite N801, Orlando, Florida 32801.
