The Board of Massage Therapy hereby gives notice:

Of the issuance of an Order regarding the Petition for Variance or Waiver, filed on November 5, 2015, by Sarah Marie Westervelt. The Notice of Petition for Waiver or Variance was published in Vol. 41, No. 221, of the November 13, 2015 Florida Administrative Register. Petitioner sought a variance or waiver of 64B7-32.002 and 64B7-32.003, F.A.C. regarding the requirements for proof of graduation and the minimum requirement for board approved massage schools. The Board considered the instant Petition at a duly-noticed public meeting held on January 29, 2016, in St. Augustine, Florida.

The Board’s Order, filed on March 4, 2016, granted the waiver of the provision in Rule 64B7-32.002, F.A.C., requiring counterfeit proof paper. The requested waiver of Rule 64B7-32.003, F.A.C., is unnecessary because failure to provide Attachment B is not grounds for denial of the application.

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], or by electronic mail: [e-mail].
