RULE NO.: RULE TITLE:
64B13-4.001: Examination Requirements

The Board of Optometry hereby gives notice that an Order on the Petition for Waiver or Variance filed on September 14, 2010, by Yasmine Fozooni, O.D. has been issued. The Notice of Petition for Variance was published in Vol. 36, No. 38, of the September 24, 2010, Florida Administrative Weekly. The petition seeks a variance from Rule 64B13-4.001, F.A.C., with regard to the licensure requirement of Rule 64B13-4.001, F.A.C., entitled “Examination Requirements.” Specifically, the Petitioner, an out-of-state optometrist who has applied for an optometrist license in Florida, requests for reasons stated in the petition that the Board waives the requirement under Rule 64B13-4.001, F.A.C., pertaining to the National Examinations Requirements. The Board’s Order, filed on October 29, 2010, denied issuing a waiver or variance in response to the petition because Petitioner does not present a unique hardship, and application of the rule does not violate principles of fairness.

A copy of the Order or additional information may be obtained by contacting: Bruce Deterding, Executive Director, Board of Optometry, 4052 Bald Cypress Way, Bin #C07, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-3257.
