The Construction Industry Licensing Board hereby gives notice:

Of the issuance of an Order regarding the Petition for Variance or Waiver, filed on July 12, 2016, by John Arthur Joseph. The Notice of Petition for Variance or Waiver was published in Vol. 42, No. 155, of the August 10, 2016, Florida Administrative Register. Petitioner sought a variance or waiver of Rule 61G4-16.005, F.A.C., which requires for the purpose of certification, a passing grade shall be valid only for a period of four (4) years from the date the list of successful candidates is approved by the Board. The Board considered the instant Petition at a duly-noticed public meeting held on October 14, 2016, in Melbourne, Florida. The Board’s Order, filed on December 6, 2016, denied the petition finding that Petitioner has not established that the purpose of the underlying statute, Section 489.113, F.S., would be met were the petitioner to be granted a variance from the rule. In addition, the Petitioner has not shown how application of the rule creates a substantial hardship or violates principles of fairness.

A copy of the Order or additional information may be obtained by contacting: Dan Biggins, Executive Director, Construction Industry Licensing Board, 2601 Blair Stone Road, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-1039, telephone: [phone] or by electronic mail: [e-mail].
