NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN THAT on August 8, 2007, the Construction Industry Licensing Board has issued an order disposing of the petition for declaratory statement filed by George Garner on March 12, 2007. The following is a summary of the agency's disposition of the petition:

The Notice of Petition for Declaratory Statement was published in Vol. 33, No. 14, of the April 6, 2007, F.A.W. The Petitioner sought the Board’s interpretation of Section 489.105(3)(m), Florida Statutes, entitled “Definitions” and whether the activities described in the petition constitute “plumbing contracting” and whether petitioner would be required to be licensed as a plumbing contractor. The Board considered the instant Petition at a duly-noticed public meeting, held May 11, 2007, in Tampa, Florida. The Board’s Order denied to answer the petition for declaratory statement because the question posed is the subject of pending litigation. A declaratory statement is not an appropriate remedy where there is pending litigation.

A copy of the Order Disposing of the Petition for Declaratory Statement may be obtained by contacting: G. W. Harrell, Executive Director, Construction Industry Licensing Board, 1940 North Monroe Street, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-0750.
