Petitioner wishes to retroactively waive from October 15, 2014 through February 16, 2015 that portion of the rule that states a high liability instructor have successfully completed a high-liability internship documented on the Instructor Competency Checklist form CJSTC-81 that is supervised by a certified first aid instructor.

Petitioner states that due to a misinterpretation of Rule 11B-20.0014(2)(d)4., F.A.C.
