NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN THAT on August 23, 2007, the Board of Opticianry has issued an order.

The Board of Opticianry hereby gives notice of the issuance of an Order regarding the Petition for Variance or Waiver for Cynthia L. Hopkins. The Notice of Petition for Variance or Waiver was published in Vol. 33, No. 27, of the July 6, 2007, F.A.W. The Board considered the Petition at a duly-noticed public meeting held on August 6, 2007.

The Board’s Order, filed on August 23, 2007, denies the Petition for Variance or Waiver of subsection 64B12-16.008(3), Florida Administrative Code. The Board finds that the Petitioner has not established that the purpose of the underlying statute, Section 484.007(1), Florida Statutes, would be met were she granted a variance or waiver from subsection 64B12-16.008(3), Florida Administrative Code. Further, the Petitioner failed to establish that the Board’s application of subsection 64B12-16.008(3), Florida Administrative Code, to her circumstances would violate the principles of fairness and would impose an substantial hardship on her.

A copy of the Order may be obtained by contacting: Sue Foster, Executive Director, Board of Opticianry, 4052 Bald Cypress Way, Bin #C08, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-3258.
