64B2-13.0049Inactive Status License

The Board of Chiropractic Medicine hereby gives notice:

Of the issuance of an Order regarding the Petition for Waiver or Variance, which was filed on March 9, 2015, by Lisa Verna, D.C. The Notice of Petition for Waiver or Variance was published in Volume 41, Number 48, of the March 11, 2015, Florida Administrative Register. The Petitioner was seeking a waiver or variance of Rule 64B2-13.0049(2), Florida Administrative Code, entitled, “Inactive Status License,” which provides that an inactive status licensee may change to active status at any time provided the licensee meets the continuing education requirements of Rule 64B2-13.004, F.A.C., pays the reactivation fee, and if the request to change licensure status is made at any time other than at the beginning of a licensure cycle, pays the additional processing fee.

The Board considered the instant Petition at a duly-noticed meeting, held April 10, 2015, in Lake Mary, Florida. The Board’s Order, filed on April 30, 2015, denied the petition finding that Petitioner had failed to establish that the purpose of the underlying statute would be met by granting a variance or waiver from subsection 64B2-13.0049(2), F.A.C. The Board further finds that Petitioner failed to establish that applying the requirements of the aforementioned rule to her circumstances would violate principles of fairness and impose substantial hardship.

A copy of the Order or additional information may be obtained by contacting: Anthony B. Spivey, Executive Director, Board of Chiropractic Medicine, 4052 Bald Cypress Way, Bin #C07, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-3257.
