The Construction Industry Licensing Board hereby gives notice of the issuance of an Order regarding the Petition for Variance or Waiver, filed on December 30, 2015, by Harold Walker. The Notice of Petition for Waiver or Variance was published in Vol. 42, No. 9, of the January 14, 2016, Florida Administrative Register. Petitioner sought a variance from or waiver of Rule 61G4-16.005, stating that examination scores more than four years old are not valid when applying for a license as a Certified General Contractor. The Board considered the Petition at a duly-noticed public meeting held on February 12, 2016, in Lake Mary, Florida. The Board’s Order, filed on May 13, 2016, denied the petition finding that Petitioner had not demonstrated a substantial hardship or is affected in a manner significantly different from the way the rule affects other similarly situated persons who are subject to the rule. In addition, the Petition has not shown how application of the rule violates principles of fairness.

A copy of the Order or additional information may be obtained by contacting: Daniel Biggins, Executive Director, Construction Industry Licensing Board, 1940 North Monroe Street, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-0783, [phone] or by email to [e-mail].
