- a temporary waiver of Rule 11D-8.014 F.A.C., from Monica Escobar Jacobs. Petitioner wishes to temporarily waive that portion of the Rule that states: “(1) Permits to conduct blood alcohol analyses shall remain valid until otherwise suspended or revoked by the Department. In order to remain qualified for such permit, an analyst must satisfactorily determine the blood alcohol level of at least 2 proficiency samples provided by the Department semiannually…” Blood Alcohol Proficiency Cycles are currently scheduled by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement in April and September of 2017. Petitioner states that Petitioner is a blood alcohol analyst holding a current permit issued by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement; however, Petitioner is presently on leave under the Family Medical Leave Act until June of 2017. As a result of her leave of absence, Petitioner is not performing any blood alcohol analyses and therefore was unable to participate in FDLE Blood Alcohol Proficiency Cycle 17C1, samples for which were mailed on April 3, 2017, and were due to the FDLE Alcohol Testing Program on April 28, 2017. Petitioner asserts that she would suffer a substantial hardship should the waiver not be granted, as she would be unable to work until she satisfactorily participated in the next Blood Alcohol Permit Proficiency Cycle, samples for which are mailed on September 18, 2017, and are due to the FDLE Alcohol Testing Program on October 13, 2017. Petitioner further asserts that the purpose of the underlying statute would be achieved by the granting of the waiver as her certification is current for the present proficiency cycle, she will participate in all subsequent FDLE Blood Alcohol Proficiency Cycles following her return to work, and she will undergo routine, frequent proficiency testing by the College of American Pathologists throughout the year.

- Robert Leroy Wynn (“Petitioner”); The Notice of Receipt of Petition for Declaratory Statement was published in the Florida Administrative Register on February 13, 2017 at Vol. 43, No. 29. Petitioner sought the agency’s opinion as to the applicability of Florida Administrative Code paragraph 12D-9.027(4)(a) regarding administrative review of the validity of denials of tax exemptions in the Value Adjustment Board process, as it applies to the petitioner. Petitioner sought the Department’s opinion on whether Fla. Admin. Code paragraph 12D-9.027(4)(a), in a value adjustment board proceeding, provides for review of the validity of the exemption denial as the first step in the process, is intended to be fair and consistent with the law, and provides that all legal requirements are met for recommendations and final decisions. The Department’s Final Order, issued May 4, 2017, declines to issue a declaratory statement because the Petition fails to meet the requirement that there be an actual, present and practical need for the declaration and that the requested declaration deals with a present controversy as to a state of facts. A copy of the Petition for Declaratory Statement and Final Order Dismissing Petition for Declaratory Statement may be obtained by contacting Sarah Wachman Chisenhall, Agency Clerk, Florida Department of Revenue, Post Office Box 6668, Tallahassee, Florida 32314-6668, Sarah.Wachman.Chisenhall@floridarevenue.com, (850) 617-8347.
