The Board of Chiropractic Medicine hereby gives notice of the issuance of an Order regarding the Petition for Variance or Waiver, filed on June 27, 2017, by Jason Andrew Rutkauskas. The Notice of Petition for Variance or Waiver was published July 10, 2017 in Vol. 43, No. 132 of the Florida Administrative Register. Petitioner sought a variance from or a waiver of Rule 64B2-13.004, F.A.C, which requires that for the purpose of renewing a license, an applicant must demonstrate to the Board that he or she participated in at least forty (40) classroom hours of continuing chiropractic education during the past two years. The Board considered the instant Petition at a duly-noticed public meeting held on August 25, 2017, in Orlando, Florida. The Board’s Order, filed on September 7, 2017, granted the request as Petitioner has shown a substantial hardship and that the underlying statute will be achieved by a temporary waiver of the requirement that he be granted credit for only Board approved continuing education courses. Petitioner has a one year extension to receive credit towards continuing education for courses taken in Singapore. However, to be granted credit for those courses, he must submit to the Board office, an acceptable syllabus for each course credit requested.

A copy of the Order or additional information may be obtained by contacting: Dr. Anthony Spivey, Executive Director, Board of Chiropractic Medicine, 4052 Bald Cypress Way, Bin C07, Tallahassee, FL 32399-3255, [phone], [e-mail].
