    The Department of Business and Professional Regulation, Division of Hotels and Restaurants, Bureau of Elevator Safety hereby gives notice: On April 17, 2024, the Division issued an order. The Final Order was in response to a Petition for a Routine Permanent Variance from Florida Institute of Technology located at 3306 Engineering St, Melbourne, FL 32901, filed February 19, 2024, and advertised on February 22, 2024, in Vol. 50, No. 37, of the Florida Administrative Register.
