The Board of Physical Therapy Practice hereby gives notice:

that on December 11, 2017, an Order was filed on the Petition for Variance or Waiver. The Petition for Variance or Waiver was filed by Francisco Gutierrez, on October 18, 2017, seeking a variance or waiver of paragraph 64B17-3.001(3)(b), F.A.C., by requesting waiver of the licensure without examination (by endorsement) requirements as described in the petition. The Notice was published in Volume 43, No. 205, of the Florida Administrative Register, on October 23, 2017.

The Board considered the Petition at a duly-noticed public meeting held on November 9, 2017 in Lake Buena Vista, 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 the New York standards for Petitioner’s license were not as high as those for Florida licensure.

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].
