NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Board of Chiropractic Medicine has issued an order disposing of the petition for declaratory statement filed by Eric S. Hansen, D.C. on October 23, 2012. The following is a summary of the agency's disposition of the petition:
The Notice of Petition for Declaratory Statement published on October 26, 2012, in Vol. 38, No. 59, of the Florida Administrative Register.

The Board of Chiropractic Medicine considered the Petition at its meeting held on January 18, 2013, in Orlando, Florida. The Board's Order filed on February 8, 2013, declined to answer the petition on the grounds that the petition did not describe with particularity Petitioner’s circumstances; and therefore, the Board was unable to apply its rules to the questions posed.
