Notice is hereby given that the Board of Medicine has received an Amended Petition for Declaratory Statement filed on behalf of the Society for Clinical and Medical Hair Removal, Inc., on March 5, 2014. The Petitioner seeks a declaratory statement from the Board with regard to the application of Sections 458.348(3) and (6), Florida Statutes, and Rules 64B8-51.006, 52.003, 52.004, and 56.002, F.A.C., with regard to whether current CME certification is required for electrologists wishing to use laser and light-based devices for hair removal and reduction services. The Petitioner also seeks a determination as to whether electrologists wishing to use laser or light-based devices must maintain certification throughout the time the electrologists are using the devices for hair removal and reduction or whether electrologists are required to obtain initial CME certification and then may let that certification lapse after the initial 5 year certification period. The Board will consider this petition at its meeting currently scheduled for April 4, 2014. Except for good cause shown, motions for leave to intervene must be filed within 21 days after publication of this notice. Copies of the petition may be obtained by writing Allison M. Dudley, J.D., Executive Director, Board of Medicine, 4052 Bald Cypress Way, Bin #C03, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-3253.
