NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that on July 06, 2010, the Criminal Justice Standards and Training Commission, received a petition for permanent waiver of subsection 11B-27.00213(4), F.A.C., by Euardo Fernandez. The rule requires recruits employed by agencies on a temporary employment authorization (TEA) to have a four-year break before they may enter into another TEA if they end a TEA prior to becoming certified. Petitioner’s employer has handed over operations of the facility employing Petitioner to another private contractor who will not honor the Petitioner’s TEA, thereby making it impossible for Petitioner to remain employed. Petitioner seeks a waiver of this rule so that he may seek another TEA immediately at another facility and, thereby, remain employed while he fulfills the requirements of Section 943.13, F.S., to become certified.
A copy of the Petition for Variance or Waiver may be obtained by contacting: Grace A. Jaye, Assistant General Counsel, Florida Department of Law Enforcement, P. O. Box 1489, Tallahassee, FL 32302, (850)410-7676.
