NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that on May 14, 2013, the Florida Department of Juvenile Justice, received a petition for permanent waiver of Rule Chapter 63H-1, which establishes Protective Action Response (PAR) as the required method of verbal and physical intervention techniques and mechanical restraints in juvenile programs and facilities. The Pasco Sheriff's Office, which staffs the Pasco Juvenile Assessment Center, cites economic hardship if all of their CJSTC-certified staff must also be PAR-trained in order to staff the facility.

A copy of the Petition for Variance or Waiver may be obtained by contacting: Chakita Jenkins, Agency Clerk, 2737 Centerview Dr., Ste. 3200, Tallahassee, Florida, 32399-3100. Comments on this petition should be filed with the Agency Clerk within 14 days of publication of this notice.
