NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN THAT the Board of Pharmacy has issued an order disposing of the petition for declaratory statement filed by Gerald Letendre, on behalf of Sarasota Specialty Pharmacy and Wellness Center on May 27, 2009. The following is a summary of the agency's disposition of the petition:
The Notice of Petition for Declaratory Statement published on June 26, 2009, Vol. 35, No. 25, of the Florida Administrative Weekly. Petitioner sought the Board’s interpretation of Section 465.185(1), Florida Statutes, entitled “Rebates Prohibited; penalties” and whether a specific contract between pharmacies and a physician’s office would violate Section 465.185 F.S.

The Board’s Order filed on September 11, 2009, found that the Petitioner lacked standing to file the petition and the Petition for Declaratory Statement was dismissed.
