The Board of Chiropractic Medicine hereby gives notice of the issuance of an Order regarding the Petition for Waiver or Variance, which was filed on December 9, 2014, by Paul A. Jaskoviak, DC, on behalf of Texas Chiropractic College regarding the course entitled “Better Together.” The Notice of Petition for Waiver or Variance was published in Volume 40, Number 239, of the December 11, 2014, Florida Administrative Register. The Petitioner was seeking a waiver or variance of paragraph 64B2-13.004(4)(a), F.A.C., entitled “Continuing Education,” which requires that for continuing education providers to receive Board approval, a continuing education course should be submitted for the Board’s approval prior to the date of the scheduled presentation. The Board considered the instant Petition at a duly-noticed meeting, held January 9, 2015, in Orlando, Florida. The Board’s Order, filed on January 27, 2015, granted the petition finding that Petitioner had established that the purpose of the underlying statute would be met by granting a variance or waiver from Rule 64B2-13.004, F.A.C. The Board further finds that Petitioner established that applying the requirements of the aforementioned rule to its circumstances would violate principles of fairness and impose substantial hardship.
