64B16-26.203Pharmacist Licensure by Examination (U.S. Graduates); Application
The Board of Pharmacy hereby gives notice: of the issuance of an Order regarding the Petition for Waiver or Variance, which was filed on January 25, 2024, by Shruti Patel. The Notice of Petition for Waiver or Variance was published in Volume 50, Number 21, of the January 31, 2024, Florida Administrative Register. The Petitioner was seeking a waiver of the requirement of subsection 64B16-26.203(4), Florida Administrative Code, that states that passing examination scores may be used upon reapplication only if the examination was completed within three (3) years of the reapplication.
The Board considered the instant Petition at a duly-noticed public meeting held February 22, 2024, in St. Petersburg, Florida. The Board’s Order, filed on March 27, 2024, denied the petition, finding that Petitioner failed to establish that the purpose of the underlying statute would be met by granting a variance or waiver from subsection 64B16-26.203(4), Florida Administrative Code. The Board further finds that Petitioner failed to establish that applying the requirements of the aforementioned rule to Petitioner’s circumstances would violate principles of fairness and impose substantial hardship.
A copy of the Order or additional information may be obtained by contacting: Allison Dudley, Executive Director, Board of Pharmacy, 4052 Bald Cypress Way, Bin #C08, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-3258 or at info@Floridaspharmacy.gov.
