69A-37.085: Eligibility Requirements for Supplemental Compensation

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that on February 19, 2009, the Department of Financial Services, Division of State Fire College, received a petition for Variance or Waiver from Petitioner, Jonathan P. Herlocker. The Petition has been assigned the number 102844-09-FM. Petitioner seeks a variance of Rules 69A-37.084 and 69A-37.085, F.A.C., which set forth the requirements for firefighter supplemental compensation. Because Petitioner holds a degree from Pensacola Christian College, which has chosen not to seek accreditation, Petitioner seeks a variance from the requirement that an “eligible Bachelor’s Degree” must be conferred by a post-secondary institution that has received accreditation “from an accrediting agency that is recognized by the U.S. Department of Education.”
A copy of the Petition for Variance or Waiver may be obtained by contacting: Regina Keenan, Senior Attorney, Department of Financial Services, 200 East Gaines Street, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-0333, (850)413-4236.
