Schwellinger, Psy.D., filed a Petition for Variance or Waiver on September 30, 2014, which was published on October 23, 2014, in Vol. 40, No. 207, of the Florida Administrative Register.

The Board considered the instant Petition at a duly-noticed public meeting held on November 21, 2014, by telephone conference call.

The Board’s Order, filed December 12, 2014, denied the Petition finding that same fails to demonstrate that the purpose of the underlying statute has been or will be achieved and that application of the rule imposes a substantial hardship or violates principles of fairness.
