    • That on June 10, 2011, the Criminal Justice Standards and Training Commission has issued an order. On June 3, 2011, the Criminal Justice Standards and Training Commission, received a petition for an emergency permanent waiver of paragraph 11B-27.00213(4)(b), F.A.C., by the Florida Department of Corrections on behalf of 190 officers. paragraph 11B-27.00213(4)(b), F.A.C., requires officers on a Temporary Employment Authorization to have a four year break in service if they separate from employment while in good standing. Notice of receipt of the petition was published in the Sun Sentinel on June 9, 2011, and on the FDLE website. On June 10, 2011, at an emergency meeting held telephonically, the Commission found that the Petitioner’s situation is unique. The Petitioner demonstrated that the strict application of the Commission’s rules in this case would violate the principles of fairness. The Petitioner’s TEA officers had, in fact, complied with all aspects of paragraph 11B-27.00213(4)(b), F.A.C. and Section 943.131(1), F.S. The TEA officers were involuntarily separated from employment with the Petitioner while in good standing because of the Petitioner’s budgetary issues. The Commission found that the purposes of the underlying statute, Section 943.131(1), F.S., to ensure that TEA officers do not voluntarily separate from TEA employment while in good standing merely to pursue a more attractive TEA elsewhere, will be met by granting this waiver request. The Commission granted the Petitioner’s waiver permanently for the June 3, 2011, separation. The TEA officers may obtain another TEA without waiting four years from June 3, 2011.

The petition seeks the Board’s interpretation of Section 466.024, Florida Statutes, and asks whether a dentist may perform HgA1C diabetes screening in the dental office by auxiliaries, under Chapter 466, Florida Statutes. The Board considered the petition at its meeting held on May 20, 2011, in Jacksonville, Florida.

    • Rogerio S. Faillace, M.D.; The Notice of the Petition was published in Vol. 36, No. 52, of the December 30, 2010 issue of the Florida Administrative Weekly. The Board reviewed the Petition at its meeting held on February 6, 2011. The Board’s Final Order finds that under the facts set forth in the Petition a physician who terminates his practice and properly lets his patients know of the termination is not excused from complying with future requests for copies of medical records from that same patient. Additionally, the Board finds that after the physician who terminated his practice has already provided a copy of a patient’s medical record to the patient himself, to that patient’s legal guardian, or to the patient’s parent (when patient is a minor), the physician’s duties regarding disposition of that patient’s records are not extinguished. Finally, the Board finds that the person or entity who obtains medical records from the Petitioner does become an owner of those records and must maintain them according to Florida law but that does not terminate the Petitioner’s duty to maintain that patient’s medical records or from continuing to comply with Sections 456.057 and 456.058, Florida Statutes, and Rule 64B8-10.002, Florida Administrative Code.
