NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that on March 20, 2007, the Board of Accountancy has issued an order.
The Order is regarding the Petition for Waiver or Variance, filed on September 28, 2006, by Marian Jacklich. The Notice of Petition for Waiver or Variance was published in Vol. 32, No. 47, of the November 22, 2006, F.A.W. Petitioner sought a waiver or variance of paragraph 61H1-27.002(2)(b) and subsection (3), F.A.C., entitled “Concentrations in Accounting and Business” with regard to the requirements regarding upper division general business courses for licensure as a C.P.A. The Board considered the instant Petition at a duly-noticed public meeting, held December 8, 2006, in Tallahassee, Florida. The Board’s Order granted the petition finding that Petitioner had established that the purpose of the underlying statute, Section 473.306(2)(b), Florida Statutes, would be met by granting a variance or waiver from paragraph 61H1-27.002(2)(b) and subsection (3), F.A.C. The Board further found that Petitioner had established that applying the requirements of the aforementioned Rule to her circumstances would violate principles of fairness and impose substantial hardship.
