NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Construction Industry Licensing Board has issued an order disposing of the petition for declaratory statement filed by Chipman Services, Inc. on January 28, 2014. The following is a summary of the agency’s disposition of the petition:

The Notice of Petition for Declaratory Statement was published in Vol. 40, No. 23, of the February 4, 2014, Florida Administrative Register. The Petitioner was seeking a declaratory statement from the Board regarding (1) whether a Florida business owner under the definitions of subsection 489.105(3), F.S., who only provides services that are isolated to the profession of welding, needs to possess a contractor’s license; (2) whether the profession of welding falls under the definition of “specialty contractor” in paragraph 489.105(3)(q), F.S.; and (3) whether Section 489.128, F.S., is applicable to a business owner who provides services attached to welding. The Board’s Order, filed on May 5, 2014, declines to issue a declaratory statement because the Petitioner is not substantially affected, as required by Section 120.565, Florida Statutes, and therefore has no standing.

A copy of the Order Disposing of the Petition for Declaratory Statement may be obtained by contacting: Drew Winters, Executive Director, Construction Industry Licensing Board, 1940 North Monroe Street, Tallahassee, FL 32399-0783, telephone: [phone] or by electronic mail: [e-mail].
