64B17-3.001Licensure

The Board of Physical Therapy Practice hereby gives notice:

that on March 27, 2018, an Order was filed on the Petition for Variance or Waiver. The Petition for Variance or Waiver was filed by Ellen Austin, on November 28, 2017, seeking a variance or waiver of subparagraph 64B17-3.001(3)(c)1., F.A.C., by requesting waiver of the licensure without examination (by endorsement) requirements as described in the petition.

The Board considered the Petition at a duly-noticed public meeting held on February 9, 2018 in Tampa, Florida. At its meeting, the Board denied the Petition stating that Petitioner has not demonstrated that the purpose of the underlying statute will be or has been achieved by other means, because course equivalency has not been demonstrated by the Petitioner and also that Petitioner has not demonstrated that principles of fairness would be violated, because Petitioner has not demonstrated that the literal application of a rule affects Petitioner in a manner significantly different from the way it affects other similarly situated persons who are subject to this rule.

A copy of the Order or additional information may be obtained by contacting: Allen Hall, Executive Director, Board of Physical Therapy Practice, 4052 Bald Cypress Way, Bin #C05, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-3253, [e-mail].
