Division of Licensing

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, Division of Licensing has declined to rule on the petition for declaratory statement filed by Alberto E. Lugo-Janer, Esquire on October 6, 2015. The following is a summary of the agency's declination of the petition:

Notice of the Petition for Declaratory Statement was published on October 12, 2015, in the Florida Administrative Register in Vol. 31, No. 198, Page 4759. The petition seeks a declaration from the Department as to whether Section 493.6102(6), Florida Statutes, exempts the petitioner from obtaining a Class G Statewide Firearms License in accordance with Section 493.6115, Florida Statutes, while performing work as an attorney. The Department declined to respond to the petition because it failed to meet the requirements for a declaratory statement: it contained no particular facts that the petitioner faces, nor does it present a controversy that requires resolution. Rather, the petition construes Section 493.6105(6), Florida Statutes, as exempting Petitioner and other attorneys from firearm licensure under Chapter 493, and then asks the Department whether it agrees with his interpretation.

A copy of the Order Declining of the Petition for Declaratory Statement may be obtained by contacting: John Roberts, Government Analyst I, by mail at Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, Division of Licensing, P.O. Box 5708, Tallahassee, Florida 32314, [phone], [e-mail].
