The Construction Industry Licensing Board hereby gives notice:

of the issuance of an Order regarding the Petition for Waiver or Variance, filed on January 24, 2019, by Christina M. Scherer Bock. The Notice of Petition for Waiver or Variance was published in Vol. 45, No. 61, of the March 28, 2019, Florida Administrative Register. Petitioner sought a waiver or variance of Rule 61G4-16.005, F.A.C., entitled “Duration of Validity,” that requires for the purpose of certification, a passing grade shall be valid only for a period of four (4) years from the date of the most recently passed portion of the exam.

The Board considered the instant Petition at a duly-noticed public meeting, held April 12, 2019, in Bradenton, Florida. The Board’s Order, filed on June 4, 2019, denied the petition finding that Petitioner had failed to establish that the purpose of the underlying statute would be met by granting a variance from Rule 61G4-16.005, F.A.C. The Board further found that Petitioner failed to establish that applying the requirements of the aforementioned rule to her circumstances would violate principles of fairness and impose substantial hardship.

A copy of the Order or additional information may be obtained by contacting: Daniel Biggins, Executive Director, Construction Industry Licensing Board, 2601 Blair Stone Road, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-1039 or telephone: [phone], or by electronic mail to [e-mail].
