The Board of Physical Therapy Practice hereby gives notice of the issuance of an Order regarding the Petition for Variance or Waiver for Roselle R. Jardiel-Rumbaoa, filed on March 27, 2014. The Notice of Petition for Variance or Waiver was published in Vol. 40, No. 75, of the April 17, 2014, Florida Administrative Register. The Board considered the Petition at a duly-noticed public meeting held on May 2, 2014. The Petitioner seeks a variance or waiver of Rules 64B17-3.001 and 64B17-3.003, Florida Administrative Code, which require applicants for licensure by endorsement to meet certain education requirements, including that the applicant has received a determination that the educational credentials are deemed equivalent to those of a U.S. educated physical therapist.

The Board’s Order, filed on May 21, 2014, grants the Petition for Variance or Waiver. The Petitioner has demonstrated that the Petition was in substantial compliance with the provisions of Section 120.542, Florida Statutes, and Chapter 28-104, Florida Administrative Code. Petitioner has demonstrated that the purpose of the underlying statute has been met by other means, and that application of the rule would cause a substantial hardship and would violate principles of fairness.

A copy of the Order or additional information may be obtained by contacting: Allen Hall, Executive Director, Board of Physical Therapy, 4052 Bald Cypress Way, Bin # C05, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-3255, [phone].
