The Board of Physical Therapy Practice hereby gives notice of issuance of an Order regarding the Petition for Variance or Waiver, filed April 19, 2016, by Milalynn Bagasan. The Notice of Petition for Waiver or Variance was published April 20, 2016, in Vol. 42, No. 77, of the Florida Administrative Register. Petitioner sought a variance from or waiver of Rule 64B17-5.001, F.A.C., regarding the requirements for reactivation of an inactive or retired license. The Board considered the Petition at a duly-noticed public meeting held on May 6, 2016, in Orlando, Florida. The Board’s Order, filed June 8, 2016, denied the petition finding that the agency is authorized to grant variances and waivers to the requirements of their rules, but is not authorized to grant variances and waivers to statutes. Section 456.036(6), FS., directly prohibits reinstatement of a null and void license, and specifically requires reapplication for a new license.

A copy of the Order or additional information may be obtained by contacting: Allen Hall, Executive Director, Board of Physical Therapy Practice, 4052 Bald Cypress Way, Bin #C05, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-3255, [phone].
