NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that Construction Industry Licensing Board has issued an order disposing of the petition for declaratory statement filed by David England on December 7, 2015. The following is a summary of the agency’s disposition of the petition:

The Notice of Petition for Declaratory Statement was published in Volume 41, No. 237, of the December 9, 2015, Florida Administrative Register. The Petitioner seeks a declaratory statement as to whether a “Specialty Contractor” category of “Steeple/Cupola Installer” can be created and adopted as a sub-set of “Sheet Metal Contractor”, as described in Section 489.105(q), FS. The Specialty Contractor status would be limited to the installation only of prefabricated steeples and cupolas, not fabrication. The Construction Industry Licensing Board considered the Petition at its meeting held on January 15, 2016, in Cocoa Beach, Florida. The Board’s Order, filed on March 31, 2016, declines to issue a declaratory statement in this matter because the Petitioner is not substantially affected, as required by Section 120.565, Florida Statutes, and that a petition for declaratory statement is not the proper mechanism by which to initiate rulemaking.

A copy of the Order Disposing of the Petition for Declaratory Statement may be obtained by contacting: Dan Biggins, Executive Director, Construction Industry Licensing Board, 1940 North Monroe Street, Tallahassee, FL 32399-0783, telephone: [phone] or by electronic mail: [e-mail].
