64B3-5.003Technologist

The Board of Clinical Laboratory Personnel hereby gives notice of the issuance of an Order regarding the Petition for Waiver or Variance, which was filed on January 13, 2014, by Matthew Brian Chandler. The Notice of Petition for Waiver or Variance was published in Volume 40, Number 56, of the March 21, 2014, Florida Administrative Register. The Petitioner was seeking a waiver or variance of paragraph 64B3-5.003(3)(a), Option 3, Florida Administrative Code, entitled “Technologist,” which sets forth the education, training/experience and examination requirements for a specialty licensure as a medical technologist. The Board considered the instant Petition at a duly-noticed telephonic meeting, held on March 11, 2014.

The Board’s Order, filed on April 16, 2014, denied the petition finding that Petitioner had failed to establish that the purpose of the underlying statute would be met by granting a variance or waiver from paragraph 64B3-5.003(3)(a) Option 3, F.A.C. The Board further finds that Petitioner failed to establish that applying the requirements of the aforementioned rule to his circumstances would violate principles of fairness and impose substantial hardship.

A copy of the Order or additional information may be obtained by contacting Adrienne Rodgers, Executive Director, Board of Clinical Laboratory Personnel, 4052 Bald Cypress Way, Bin #C07, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-3257.
