The Board of Optometry hereby gives notice: Notice of Intent to Deny the Petition for Waiver or Variance filed on February 18, 2014, by John H. Bannwarth, O.D. The Notice of Petition for Variance or Waiver was published in Vol. 40, No. 40, of February 27, 2014, Florida Administrative Register.

The Board’s Order, filed on April 3, 2014, dismissed the Petition, without prejudice, since the Petition was not in substantial compliance with Section 120.542, F.S. or Rule 28-104, F.A.C.
