NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that on March 28, 2008, the Department of Business and Professional Regulation, received a petition for waiver of subsection 61A-2.014(6), Florida Administrative Code. Petitioner TGI Friday’s, Inc. requests a waiver of subsection 61A-2.014(6), Florida Administrative Code, which requires all directors or officers of a corporation with an interest in an alcoholic beverage license to file a set of fingerprints at the time of making application for a beverage license or at the time an interest is created after a license has been issued. Petitioner does not qualify as any of the three exceptions also created by Rule 61A-2.014, Florida Administrative Code, but requests the waiver of application of the rule to Petitioner’s positions of Assistant Secretary, Assistant Secretary (acting as in-house counsel), Vice President of Operations (with oversight responsibilities relating only to those locations outside of Florida), Vice President of Franchising, Vice President of Strategic Projects, Vice President of International Operations, and Senior Vice President of Marketing and Chief Operations Office, since such positions are not involved in the operation, control or management of any Florida hotel or any alcoholic beverage sales at a Florida location.
