The Board of Massage Therapy hereby gives notice:

Of the issuance of an Order regarding the Petition for Variance or Waiver, filed on October 23, 2015, by Angela Bascou. The Notice of Petition for Waiver or Variance was published in Vol. 41, No. 211, of the October 29, 2015 Florida Administrative Register. Petitioner sought a variance or waiver requiring completion of a 500 hour program for licensure as Petitioner currently holds a massage license in California. 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, denied the Petitioner’s request because the petition is not in substantial compliance with the provisions of Section 120.542, FS, and Chapter 28-104, F.A.C. Additionally, the Petitioner seeks a waiver of the statutory requirements in 480.041, FS. The Board has no authority to waive the provisions of statute.

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].
