On May 3, 2019 the Division of Hotels and Restaurants received a Petition for a Routine Variance for Paragraph 61C-4.010(7) Florida Administrative Code and Paragraph 61C-4.010(6), Florida Administrative Code from Chef Rose Jamaican Cuisine located in Sunrise. The above referenced F.A.C. addresses the requirement that at least one accessible bathroom be provided for use by customers. They are requesting to share the bathrooms located within a nearby establishment under a different ownership for use by customers only.
The Petition for this variance was published in Vol. 45/88 on May 6, 2019. The Order for this Petition was signed and approved on May 21, 2019. After a complete review of the variance request, the Division finds that the application of this Rule will create a financial hardship to the food service establishment. Furthermore, the Division finds that the Petitioner meets the burden of demonstrating that the underlying statute has been achieved by the Petitioner ensuring the bathrooms located within Barber Shop Kinam (8306 W Oakland Park Blvd Sunrise, FL 33351), are maintained in a clean and sanitary manner and are provided with cold running water under pressure, soap, approved hand drying devices, and are available during all hours of operation. The Petitioner shall also ensure that directional signage is installed within or outside the establishment clearly stating the location of the bathrooms. If the ownership of Chef Rose Jamaican Cuisine (Keith Rose) and/or Barber Shop Kinam (Fran Claude) changes, an updated signed agreement for use of the bathroom facilities will be required immediately.

The petition sought a declaratory statement whether its proposed business model (develop a global electronic platform to facilitate the purchase and sale of digital assets. Buyers and sellers of Digital Assets will participate on the Platform subject to an agreement with the Company concerning the use of the Platform) falls under the Florida Money Transmitter Statute, Chapter 560, Florida Statutes. - ******Petition Withdrawn.

Joseph Kennett, Esq.; The Notice of Petition for Declaratory Statement was published in Vol. 45, No. 45, on March 6, 2019 in the Florida Administrative Register. The Petitioner sought the agency’s opinion as to whether a license is required to bury plastic roll duct HDPE conduit, never larger than 2 inches in diameter, which contains fiber optics or coaxial cable from a point just outside the right-of-way to a point just outside the home or private property. The Board considered the instant Petition at a duly-noticed public meeting held on January 25, 2019, in Fernandina Beach, Florida.
The Board’s Order, filed on February 28, 2019, finds that the Board has jurisdiction over this matter pursuant to section 120.565, and Chapter 489, Part II, F.S. The Board finds that the Petition sets forth various scenarios which are inappropriate for determination by use of declaratory statement, therefore the Board declines to answer this Petition for Declaratory Statement.

Any further analysis regarding the Petition is unnecessary, therefore, the Office makes no determination regarding the merits of Petitioner's arguments relating to this issue. The original petition sought a declaratory statement from the Office whether its proposed business model (to originate, fund and service loans to commercial enterprises in the amount of $500,000 to $3,000,000) falls under the Loan Originator and Mortgage Broker Statute, Chapter 494, Florida Statutes.

Misty Barrere; The Notice of Petition for Declaratory Statement was published in Vol. 44, No. 232, on November 30, 2018 in the Florida Administrative Register. The Petitioner sought a Declaratory Statement from the Board with regard to whether it is within the scope of practice of a registered nurse (RN) as defined in 464.003(20) F.S., to administer a low-dose ketamine to patients in a hospital for treatment of treatment resistant depression. The Board considered the instant Petition at a duly-noticed meeting on February 7, 2019 in Howey-in-the-Hills, Florida.
The Board’s Order, filed on April 23, 2019, finds that ketamine by intravenous administration is not approved for the use in the treatment of treatment resistant depression and the safe administration of intravenous ketamine without direct supervision by a physician or practitioner qualified to provide emergency airway management including intubation and resuscitation is not within the scope of practice for Registered Nurses in Florida. Therefore, the Board finds that under the facts of the petition, it is not within the scope of practice of registered nursing to administer intravenous ketamine.
