The Board of Massage Therapy hereby gives notice of the issuance of an Order regarding the Petition for Variance or Waiver, filed on March 9, 2015 and refiled on August 25, 2015, by Laura Randich. The Notice of Petition for Waiver or Variance was published in Vol. 41, No. 51, of the March 16, 2015 Florida Administrative Register. Petitioner sought a variance or waiver regarding the requirement of providing an official transcript. The Board considered the instant Petition at a duly-noticed public meeting held on November 9, 2015, by telephone conference call.

The Board’s Order, filed on November 19, 2015, granted the petition stating that the Board found that the petition was in substantial compliance with the provisions of Section 120.542, F.S., and Chapter 28-104, F.A.C., and Petitioner has met the purpose of the underlying statute in providing an official transcript, albeit not on counterfeit proof paper. Application of the rule to Petitioner would impose a substantial hardship.

A copy of the Order or additional information may be obtained by contacting Claudia Kemp, Executive Director, Board of Massage Therapy, 4052 Bald Cypress Way, Bin #C06, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-3256, [phone], [e-mail].
