    The Notice of Petition for Declaratory Statement was published in Volume 43, No. 167, of the August 28, 2017 Florida Administrative Register.

The Board’s Order, filed on October 24, 2017, states the Petition filed in this cause is not in substantial compliance with the provisions of Section 120.565, F.S., and Rule 28-105, F.A.C., and therefore is dismissed.
