The Board of Clinical Social Work, Marriage And Family Therapy And Mental Health Counseling hereby gives notice of the issuance of an Order regarding the Petition for Variance for Julio Sterling, Mental Health Counselor Applicant. The Notice of Petition for Variance was published in Vol. 32, No. 24, of the June 16, 2006, F.A.W. The Board considered the Petition at a duly-noticed public meeting, via telephone conference, call held on June 20, 2006.

The Board’s Order, filed on July 7, 2006, denies the Petition for Variance or Waiver, finding that Petitioner was in substantial compliance with Section 120.542, F.S., and Chapter 28-104, F.A.C. The Board determined that Petitioner did not demonstrate that application of paragraph 64B4-3.003(3)(b), F.A.C., would present a substantial hardship to the Petitioner or that the application of that rule violates the principles of fairness with regard to Petitioner. The Board determined that a waiver of the rule would not serve the purposes of the underlying statute.

A copy of the Board’s Order may be obtained by contacting: Susan Foster, Executive Director, Board of Clinical Social Work, Marriage And Family Therapy and Mental Health Counseling, 4052 Bald Cypress Way, Bin #C08, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-3258.
