    The Board of Massage Therapy hereby gives notice:

    Of the issuance of an Order regarding the Petition for Variance or Waiver, filed on May 19, 2015, by Tania Velasquez. The Notice of Petition for Waiver or Variance was published in Vol. 41, No. 100, of the May 22, 2015, Florida Administrative Register. The Petitioner sought a variance or waiver of Rule 64B7-28.009, F.A.C., regarding the continuing education requirements for renewal of her Florida massage license. The Board considered the instant Petition at a duly-noticed public meeting held on June 10, 2015, by telephone conference call.

    The Board’s Order, filed on June 16, 2015, denied the Petition for Variance or Waiver because the applicant has not met the purpose of the underlying statute, has not demonstrated a substantial hardship, nor does the application of the rule violate principles of fairness. Instructors in board-approved massage schools in Florida are not relieved of their obligation to complete continuing education based on the demands of their positions.

    A copy of the Order or additional information may be obtained by contacting: Christy Robinson, Executive Director, Board of Massage Therapy, 4052 Bald Cypress Way, Bin #C06, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-3256, christy.robinson@flhealth.gov.
