The Board of Physical Therapy Practice hereby gives notice of the issuance of an Order on December 16, 2016, regarding the Petition for Variance or Waiver filed by Monique Seekles on September 26, 2016. The Notice of Petition for Variance or Waiver was published on October 10, 2016, in Volume 42, No. 197, of the Florida Administrative Register. Petitioner sought a variance or waiver from Rule 64B17-3.001, F.A.C., which requires that the Board approved credentialing agency use original transcripts of course description documentation with institutional seals and signatures obtained directly from the institution. The Board, at its meeting held on October 28, 2016, voted to grant the Petition for Variance or Waiver, finding that the Petitioner has demonstrated that application of the rule would create a substantial hardship and violate the principles of fairness, and that the purpose of the underlying statute has been achieved by other means.

A copy of the Order or additional information may be obtained by contacting the Board of Physical Therapy Practice, Allen Hall, Executive Director, 4052 Bald Cypress Way, Bin #C05, Tallahassee, FL 32399-3255, [phone] or [e-mail].
