64B5-14.003: Training, Education, Certification, and Requirements for Issuance of Permits

The Board of Dentistry hereby gives notice of the issuance of an Order regarding the Petition for Declaratory Statement filed by Steven M. Kiffell, M.D., D.D.S. The Notice of Petition for Declaratory Statement was published in Vol. 34, No. 7, of the February 8, 2008, Florida Administrative Weekly. The Petitioner sought the interpretation of Rule 64B5-14.003, F.A.C. The Board considered the Petition at a duly-noticed public meeting held on March 6, 2008.

The Board’s Order, filed on March 31, 2008, finds that Petitioner has not complied with the requirements of Section 120.565, Florida Statutes and Rule 28-105.002, Florida Administrative Code. The Board of Dentistry declines to issue a declaratory statement in response to Dr. Kiffell’s petition. There was no identifiable substantial interest and no specific rule was identified. Further the Board determined that the Florida Statutes and rules in the Florida Administrative Code directly address the issues in question. Because the law is clear, no Declaratory Statement is necessary.

A copy of the Board’s Order may be obtained by contacting: Sue Foster, Executive Director, Board of Dentistry, 4052 Bald Cypress Way, Bin #C08, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-3258.
