The Florida Office of Financial Regulation hereby gives notice: On 8/13/2020, the Florida Office of Financial Regulation issued a Final Order Denying Petition for Waiver of Rule 69W-600.0024, Florida Administrative Code, dated May 19, 2020, filed by Stephen Smithson. The Office determined that Petitioner has not demonstrated that the purpose of the underlying statute, section 517.12, Florida Statutes, implemented by the rule requirement to have timely passed the Series 66 examination, has been satisfied as to Petitioner's qualifications and knowledge. The Office determined that the facts alleged in the Petition do not demonstrate a substantial hardship to Petitioner. The Office determined that Petitioner is required to retake the Series 66 exam because he is not affected in a manner significantly different from the way it affects other similarly situated persons. ***The original petition was published May 21, 2020 in the Florida Administrative Register Volume 46, Number 100.

A copy of the Order or additional information may be obtained by contacting: Agency Clerk, Office of Financial Regulation, P.O. Box 8050, Tallahassee, Florida 32314-8050, [phone], [e-mail].
