61G15-20.0015: Application for Licensure by Endorsement

The Board of Professional Engineers hereby gives notice of the issuance of an Order regarding the Petition for Variance or Waiver for Alan Grossman, filed on April 22, 2010. The Notice of Petition for Variance or Waiver was published in Vol. 36, No. 24, of the June 18, 2010, Florida Administrative Weekly. The Board considered the Petition at a duly-noticed public meeting held on June 17, 2010. The Petition requested a Variance or Waiver of subsection 61G15-20.0015(5), Florida Administrative Code, with respect to Petitioner having held a valid professional engineers license in another state for 15 years and has 20 years of continuous professional-level experience with a non-engineering degree.

The Board’s Order, filed on August 23, 2010, grants the Petition for Variance or Waiver of subsection 61G15-20.0015(5), Florida Administrative Code. The Board found that Petitioner has met the purpose of the underlying statute based upon the length and type of experience as a professional engineer in New Jersey, and has otherwise shown that the application of the rule violates principles of fairness.

A copy of the Board’s Order may be obtained by contacting: Carrie Flynn, Executive Director, Board of Professional Engineers, 2507 Callaway Road, Suite 200, Tallahassee, Florida 32303-5268.
