The Board of Optometry hereby gives notice: that on December 06, 2018, an Notice of Intent to Deny Petition for Variance or Waiver was filed. The Petition was filed by Bo Yong King, O.D., on September 14, 2018, seeking a waiver or variance from subparagraphs 64B13-4.001(1)(d)3. and (2), F.A.C., which requires applicants for licensure in Florida to have obtained an overall passing score and a minimum score of 75% on each of the three tested skills of the Florida Practical Examination.
