- variance or waiver filed by Benjamin Kincaid. Petitioner is seeking a variance or waiver of Rule 61H1-27.001(5)(a), Florida Administrative Code, that provides that a graduate of a four-year degree granting institution not accredited at the time the applicant’s degree was received or at the time of filing application will be deemed to be a graduate of a four-year accredited college or university course provided an accredited college or university as defined by subsections 61H1-27.001(1) and (2), F.A.C., accepts applicant’s non-accredited baccalaureate degree and the applicant satisfactorily completes at least 15 semester or 22 quarter hours, or the equivalent, in post-baccalaureate education at the accredited institution of which at least 9 semester or 13 quarter hours, including at least 3 semester or 4 quarter hours in taxation; or the equivalent, shall be in accounting.
- variance or waiver filed by Jenni K. Middlebrook Case, seeking a variance or waiver of Rule 61H1-27.002(4)(a), Florida Administrative Code, that requires for purposes of this rule, upper division accounting hours other than elementary above the minimum requirement may be substituted for general business hours. Elementary accounting subjects shall not be accepted as general business education. Elementary accounting subjects include principles of financial and managerial accounting courses even if they are covered in a three course sequence, are titled “introductory,” “fundamentals” or “principles” and even if they are offered at the graduate level. All accounting courses and not less than 21 semester or 32 quarter hours of general business courses must be at the upper division level. For the purpose of paragraph 61H1-27.002(2)(b), F.A.C., all general business courses, including accounting courses in excess of the 36 hours required, must be taken at the upper division level, except for Introductory Macro and Micro Economics, Business Law, Introductory Statistics, Introduction to Computer Information Systems, and any written or oral communication course described in paragraph 61H1-27.002(2)(b), F.A.C. Lower level general business courses, other than those listed above, posted to transcripts after August 31, 1989 will not count. Standardized tests, such as CLEP, are not acceptable for accounting or general business courses; however, advanced placement (AP) courses will be counted if the applicant has been granted college credit for those AP courses by their degree-granting institution.Upper division, as used in rule 61H1-27.002, F.A.C., means courses offered at the junior level or higher. By definition, any course taken at a community college is not upper division. Courses offered at the freshman and sophomore level at senior institutions are not upper division, regardless of the title or content of the course (e.g., Cost, Intermediate, Tax, etc.)

The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) invites all persons to attend a public information meeting for the proposed improvements along State Road (S.R.) 44 from west of County Road (C.R.) 42 in Lake County to east of Ed Stone Park in Volusia County. The total project length is approximately 0.8 miles.
The meeting begins as an open house and will be 5:30-7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 15, 2019 at the Sanborn Activity and Event Center, 815 South Alabama Avenue, DeLand, FL 32724. During the open house, displays and other project information will be available for review. Staff will also be available to discuss the project and receive comments. Following the open house will be a presentation at 6:30 p.m. The purpose of this public meeting is to present information and receive public input regarding the proposed design.
The proposed improvements include construction of a new fixed-span bridge over the St. Johns River, which will be designed to accommodate a future 12-foot multi-use trail, and reconstructing the two-lane rural roadway bridge approaches, south of the existing bridge. In addition, the signal at the S.R. 44 and C.R. 42 intersection will be replaced and the access road to Pier 44 Marina will be relocated. Access changes to Ed Stone Park, St. Johns Marina, Old New York Avenue, and Shady Oaks will be included as part of this design project. Improvements also include new stormwater ponds and safety enhancements.
The proposed improvements will enhance safety and access along S.R. 44. The design is scheduled for completion in Fall 2019. Right of way acquisition is currently funded in Fiscal Years (FY) 2018 and 2019, and construction is currently funded in FY 2020.
