11B-27.00213Temporary Employment Authorization

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that on June 29, 2016, the Criminal Justice Standards and Training commission, received a petition for Correctional Institution, Florida Department of Corrections on behalf of Timothy Mackan. The Petitioner wishes to waive that portion of the rule that states: The individual was previously hired on a TEA and has separated from the employing agency or discontinued training while still in good standing, and has had a break-in-service from the last employment for a minimum of four years. Such individual shall comply with the firearms training requirements pursuant to Rule 11B-35.0024, F.A.C. and Section 943.17(1)(a), F.S., unless the agency administrator has waived such requirements in subsection (2) of this rule section, and shall enroll in a Commission-approved Basic Recruit Training Program within 180 days of employment in the first training program offered in the geographic area, or in the first assigned state training program for a state officer. Petitioner states that Mr. Mackan was unable to begin the training academy he was originally scheduled for due to a family emergency forcing him to return to his home state of Ohio. Petitioner states that if the waiver is granted Mr. Mackan would be re-employed by the Liberty Correctional Institution and would begin the first available Basic Recruit Training Program. Petitioner states that strict application of the rule creates a substantial hardship and violates principles of fairness because Mr. Mackan was unable to begin the Basic Recruit Program due to reasons beyond his control. Petitioner state the purpose of the underlying statute would be achieved if the waiver is granted.

A copy of the Petition for Variance or Waiver may be obtained by contacting: Linton B. Eason, Assistant General Counsel, Florida Department of Law Enforcement, P.O. Box 1489, Tallahassee, FL 32302, [phone].
