NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Board of Chiropractic Medicine has issued an order disposing of the petition for declaratory statement filed by Eric S. Hansen, D.C. on October 23, 2012. The following is a summary of the agency's disposition of the petition:
The Notice of Petition for Declaratory Statement published on October 26, 2012, in Vol. 38, No. 59, of the Florida Administrative Register. Petitioner sought the Board’s interpretation of Rule 64B2-18.001 entitled, “Definitions,” and Rule 64B2-18.0075, F.A.C., entitled, “Direct Supervision of Registered Chiropractic Assistant,” concerning whether petitioner is allowed to use registered chiropractic assistants to perform manual therapy when the assistants also have an active/current Florida massage therapist license. The Board of Chiropractic Medicine considered the Petition at its meeting held on January 18, 2013, in Orlando, Florida. The Board's Order filed on February 8, 2013, declined to answer the petition on the grounds that the petition did not describe with particularity Petitioner’s circumstances; and therefore, the Board was unable to apply its rules to the questions posed.
A copy of the Order Disposing of the Petition for Declaratory Statement may be obtained by contacting: Bill Miller, Executive Director, Board of Chiropractic Medicine, 4052 Bald Cypress Way, Bin # C07, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-3257.
