NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN THAT on August 29, 2007, the Board of Psychology has issued an order.

The Order is regarding the Petition for Waiver or Variance, filed on June 7, 2007, by Judith I. Pool, Ph.D. The Notice of Petition for Waiver or Variance was published in Vol. 33, No. 25, of the June 22, 2007, F.A.W. The Petitioner sought a waiver or variance of subsection 64B19-11.005(2), F.A.C., entitled “Supervised Experience Requirements” with regard to the requirement that all applicants for licensure complete at least 2,000 hours of post doctoral experience under a supervisor who supervision comports with this rule. The Board considered the instant Petition at a duly-noticed public meeting, held July 27, 2007, in Orlando, Florida. The Board’s Order granted the petition finding that Petitioner established that the purpose of the underlying statute, Section 490.005(1)(c), Florida Statutes, would be met by granting a variance or waiver from subsection 64B19-11.005(2), F.A.C. The Board further found that Petitioner established that applying the requirements of the aforementioned Rules to her circumstances would violate principles of fairness and impose substantial hardship.
