The Board of Dentistry hereby gives notice of the issuance of an Order regarding the Petition for Variance for Gonzalo Romo Demiguel, filed on August 11, 2010. The Notice of Petition for Variance was published in Vol. 36, No. 46, of the November 19, 2010, Florida Administrative Weekly. The Board considered the Petition at a duly-noticed public meeting held on December 3, 2010. The petition requested a waiver or variance from the requirement imposed by Rule 64B5-2.0146, F.A.C., with respect to the following licensure requirement: that each applicant for a Florida dental license successfully completes supplemental remedial education to the level of a graduation senior.

The Board’s Order, filed on December 23, 2010, grants the Petition for Variance or Waiver, finding that Petitioner has complied with the requirements of Section 120.542(2) of the Florida Statutes. Specifically, Petitioner has demonstrated how the purpose of the underlying statute would be achieved or has been achieved by other means as evidenced through his supplemental studies, and practice experience. Additionally, Petitioner has demonstrated that strict application of Rule 64B5-2.0146, Florida Administrative Code, would create a substantial hardship or violate principles of fairness. Moreover, Petitioner has complied with Sections 120.542(2) of the Florida Statutes and Rule 64B5-2.0146 of the Florida Administrative Code. Based upon the foregoing, the Board determined that Petitioner is eligible for a waiver or variance of Rule 64B5-2.0146, Florida Administrative Code.
