The Board of Optometry hereby gives notice:
that the Board of Optometry has issued an Order to Grant on the Petition for Waiver or Variance filed on April 12, 2011, by Ann Morgan Tarter, O.D. The Notice of Petition for Variance was published in Vol. 37, No. 17, April 29, 2011, Florida Administrative Weekly. The petition seeks a variance from Rule 64B13-4.001, F.A.C., with regard to the licensure requirement of Rule 64B13-4.001, F.A.C., that applicants submit scores on the national licensing exam taken no longer than 5 years prior to application. The Board considered the petition at its meeting held on June 8, 2011, by telephone conference. The Board’s Order, filed on July 5, 2011, approved to issue a waiver or variance in response to this petition because it would violate principles of fairness.
A copy of the Order or additional information may be obtained by contacting:
Bruce Deterding, Executive Director, Board of Optometry, 4052 Bald Cypress Way, Bin #C07, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-3257.
