Construction Industry Licensing Board

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that Construction Industry Licensing Board has issued an order disposing of the petition for declaratory statement filed by Roger D. Casey on behalf of Casey Electric Inc., on November 14, 2016. The following is a summary of the agency's disposition of the petition:

The Notice of Petition for Declaratory Statement was published in Volume 43, No. 04, of the January 6, 2017, Florida Administrative Register. Petitioner ask the Board for Clarification of s. 489.105(3)(i), Fla. Stat., specifically whether a certified mechanical contractor is authorized to perform gas piping to equipment or appliances exterior of a building as well as inside. The Petitioner’s request for clarification appears to apply to past practice and a petition for declaratory statement is not appropriate when it relates to the past practice. The Petitioner’s petition does not apply only to Petitioner’s particular set of circumstances, but rather is a matter of general applicability. It is the Board’s opinion that s. 489.105(3)(i), Fla. Stat. is not ambiguous, and declines to clarify the statute. The Board’s Order, filed on June 29, 2017, declines to issue a declaratory statement in this matter.

A copy of the Order Disposing of the Petition for Declaratory Statement may be obtained by contacting: Daniel Biggins, Executive Director, Construction Industry Licensing Board, 2601 Blair Stone Road, Tallahassee, FL 32399-1039, [phone], or by electronic mail – [e-mail].
