NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that The Department of Elder Affairs has declined to rule on the petition for declaratory statement filed by Douglas D. Adkins, Executive Director, Dayspring Village, Inc. on January 03, 2013. The following is a summary of the agency's declination of the petition:
The Department of Elder Affairs has denied Petitioner's request for Declaratory Statement, as Petitioner has failed to articulate particularized sets of circumstances unique to Petitioner or which directly relate to a statute, rule, or order of the Department identified by Petitioner. In so doing, Petitioner has substantially failed to follow the appropriate guidelines for petitioning a state agency for a declaratory statement as prescribed by Section 120.565, Florida Statutes, and has further failed to demonstrate a bona fide, actual, present, and practical need for the Department's declaration.
A copy of the Order Declining of the Petition for Declaratory Statement may be obtained by contacting: Anthony J. DePalma, Assistant General Counsel, 4040 Esplanade Way, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-7000, [e-mail]
