69A-37.085: Eligibility Requirements for Supplemental Compensation
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that on June 14, 2010, the Department of Financial Services, Division of State Fire College, received a petition for Variance from Petitioner, Patrick Pointu. The Petition has been assigned the number 111315-10-FM. Petitioner seeks a variance of Rules 69A-37.084 and 69A-37.085, Florida Administrative Code, which set forth the requirements for firefighter supplemental compensation. Because Petitioner holds a degree from a foreign educational institution, 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: Nic Thornton, Assistant General Counsel, Department of Financial Services, 200 East Gaines Street, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-0333, (850)413-4300.
