The Board of Physical Therapy Practice hereby gives notice: that on August 23, 2019, an Order was filed on the Petition for Variance or Waiver. The Petition for Variance or Waiver was filed by Åsa Höglund-Berghan, on July 8, 2019, seeking a waiver or variance of paragraph 64B17-3.001(3)(c), F.A.C., with regards to an applicant for licensure without examination who has been educated in a foreign country that demonstrates the minimum educational requirements. The Notice of Petition for Variance or Waiver was published in Vol.45, No.153, on August 7, 2019, in the Florida Administrative Register. No comments were received on the Petition. The Board, at its meeting held on August 9, 2019, voted to deny the Petition for Variance or Waiver finding that Petitioner failed to demonstrate a substantial hardship; failed to demonstrate that application of the rule would violate the principle of fairness; and failed to demonstrate that the purpose of the underlying statute has been met.
