The Notice of Petition for Declaratory Statement was published in Vol. 33, No. 32, of the August 10, 2007, F.A.W. The Board considered the Petition at a duly-noticed public meeting held on September 14, 2007. The Board’s Order, filed on October 8, 2007, finds that Petitioner has complied with the requirements of Section 120.565 of the Florida Statutes and Rule 28-105.002, Florida Administrative Code. The Board of Dentistry declines to issue a declaratory statement in response to Dr. Laria-Viota’s inquiry. The Board determined that the question was an issue of general applicability and that Section 466.025(2), Florida Statutes, was unambiguous and could only be interpreted in one way which did not require issuance of a Declaratory Statement.
