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 March 28, 2012, by Julie Ann Reemelin. The Notice of Petition for Waiver or Variance was published in Vol. 38, No. 15, of the April 13, 2012, Florida Administrative Weekly. The Petitioner was seeking a waiver or variance of Rule 64B3-5.003, Option 1, Florida Administrative Code, entitled “Technologist,” Petitioner is seeking a variance or waiver of paragraph 64B3-5.003(3)(a), Option 1, Florida Administrative Code, which sets forth the requirements for a specialty licensure as a technologist. The Board considered the instant Petition at a duly-noticed meeting, held May 11, 2012, in Orlando, Florida.

The Board’s Order, filed on May 29, 2012, 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 1, F.A.C. The Board further finds that Petitioner failed to establish that applying the requirements of the aforementioned rule to her circumstances would violate principles of fairness and impose substantial hardship.
