The Board of Clinical Laboratory Personnel hereby gives notice: of the issuance of an Order regarding the Petition for Variance or Waiver, filed on May 28, 2019, by Darlene Keppel. The Notice of Petition for Waiver or Variance was published in Vol. 45, No. 106, of the May 31, 2019, Florida Administrative Register. Petitioner sought a variance or waiver of Rule 64B3-11.001, F.A.C., which requires that in order to renew a clinical laboratory personnel license, a minimum of 24 hours of continuing education shall be earned during each biennium.

The Board’s Order, filed on October 7, 2019, denied the petition finding that Petitioner did not meet the purpose of the underlying statute by other means and that the application of the rule did not create a substantial hardship or violate the principles of fairness.
