The Board of Chiropractic Medicine hereby gives notice: of the issuance of an Order regarding the Petition for Variance or Waiver, filed on August 14, 2018 by Lyle W. Grenz, D.C. The Notice of Petition for Variance or Waiver was published in Vol. 44, No. 164, of the August 22, 2018, Florida Administrative Register. Petitioner sought a variance of subsection 64B2-13.004(2), F.A.C, which requires that for the purpose of renewing a license, only those classroom hours earned at Board approved continuing education courses or under the provision of the rule are acceptable. The Board considered the Petition at a duly-noticed public meeting held on October 19, 2018, in Champions Gate, FL. The Board’s Order, filed on November 14, 2018, denied the petition because Petitioner failed to demonstrate how compliance with subsection 64B2-13.004(2), F.A.C., requiring Petitioner to take Board approved courses, would pose an undue hardship or violate principles of fairness. The Board notes that petitions for Variance or Waiver should be filed prior to the licensee taking courses that are not approved by the Board, not after the course is completed.

A copy of the Order or additional information may be obtained by contacting: Dr. Anthony Spivey, Executive Director, Board of Chiropractic Medicine, 4052 Bald Cypress Way, Bin #C07, Tallahassee, FL 32399-3255, telephone: [phone], or by electronic mail – [e-mail].
