The Board of Clinical Laboratory Personnel hereby gives notice:

of the issuance of an Order regarding the Petition for Waiver or Variance, which was filed on March 22, 2016, by Bassam Abomoelak. The Notice of Petition for Waiver or Variance was published in Volume 42, Number 58, of the March 24, 2016, Florida Administrative Register. The Petitioner was seeking a waiver or variance of paragraph 64B3-5.003(3)(a), Option 1, Florida Administrative Code, entitled “Technologist,” which sets forth the education, training/experience and examination requirements for a specialty licensure as a medical technologist.

The Board considered the instant Petition at a duly-noticed public telephonic meeting held June 10, 2016. The Board’s Order, filed on July 5, 2016, granted the petition, finding that Petitioner had established that the purpose of the underlying statute would be met by granting a variance or waiver from paragraph 64B3-5.003(3)(a), F.A.C. The Board further finds that Petitioner established that applying the requirements of the aforementioned rule to his circumstances would violate principles of fairness and impose substantial hardship.
