64B4-11.007Definition of "Licensed Clinical Social Worker, or the Equivalent, Who Is a Qualified Supervisor."

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 Waiver or Variance, which was filed on April 9, 2018, by Michael Maxwell. The Notice of Petition for Waiver or Variance was published in Volume 44, Number 71, of the April 11, 2018, Florida Administrative Register. The Petitioner was seeking a waiver or variance of Rule 64B4-11.007, F.A.C., entitled “Definition of Licensed Clinical Social Worker, or the Equivalent, Who Is a Qualified Supervisor,” which provides the definition of a qualified supervisor.

The Board considered the instant Petition at a duly-noticed meeting, held May 24, 2018, in Orlando, Florida. The Board’s Order, filed on June 14, 2018, denied the petition finding that Petitioner had failed to establish that the purpose of the underlying statute would be met by granting a variance or waiver from Rule 64B4-11.007, F.A.C. The Board further finds that Petitioner failed to establish that applying the requirements of the aforementioned rule to his circumstances would violate principles of fairness and impose substantial hardship.

A copy of the Order or additional information may be obtained by contacting: Jennifer Wenhold, 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.
