The Notice of Petition for Declaratory Statement published on March 11, 2013, in Vol. 39, No. 48, of the Florida Administrative Register. Petitioner sought the agency's opinion as to the applicability of Chapter 464.003(3)(a), F.S., as it applies to the petitioner.

The Board’s Order filed on April 17, 2013, dismissed the petition as the petitioner did not provide the correct statutory provision and the petition proposed was for other licensees, not the petitioner.
