The Notice of Petition for Declaratory Statement was published in Volume 39, No. 67, of the April 5, 2013, Florida Administrative Register. The Board considered the Petition at a duly-noticed telephonic meeting held on March 22, 2013. The Petitioner requested the Board’s interpretation of Sections 490.003(4)(a)9), Florida Statues, with regards to providing psychological services and that services can be provided without regards to the place of service. The Board’s Order, filed on April 16, 2013 grants the declaratory statement.

Finally, the Board requests that the Petitioner submit to the Board office documentation from New Hampshire demonstrating the New Hampshire Board is in agreement with this type of counseling.
