NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that on June 01, 2010, the Electrical Contractors’ Licensing Board has issued an order.
The Order is regarding the Petition for Waiver or Variance which was filed on January 5, 2010, by Britt Knight. The Notice of Petition for Variance/Waiver was published in Vol. 36, No. 4, of the January 29, 2010, Florida Administrative Weekly. Petitioner sought a waiver or variance from subsection 61G6-5.002(1), F.A.C., entitled Application for Certification by Examination; Reexamination, which requires that an applicant for certification by examination or by endorsement shall submit the complete application form together with all supporting data including information required to be submitted under Rules 61G6-5.003 and 61G6-5.004, F.A.C., if applicable. Petitioner also sought a variance or waiver of subsection 61G6-5.002(3), F.A.C., which requires that the initial Business Computer-Based Test portion may be taken from the professional testing service at any time after the applicant has been approved to sit for the initial paper and pencil Technical/Safety Examination. The Board considered the instant Petition at a duly-noticed public meeting, held March 19, 2010, in Cocoa Beach, Florida.
The Boards’ Order denied the petition, finding Petitioner had failed to demonstrate that application of the rule to his circumstances would violate the principles of fairness and would impose a substantial hardship on him.
A copy of the Order may be obtained by contacting: Juanita Chastain, Executive Director, Electrical Contractors’ Licensing Board, 1940 North Monroe Street, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-0750.
