Final Order Denying Barry Fleischer's Petition for Waiver from Rule 69W-600.0024(6)(b)

The Office of Financial Regulation denies Barry Fleischer's petition for a permanent waiver from the examination requirements of Rule 69W-600.0024(6)(b), Florida Administrative Code, which mandates passing the Series 65 or Series 66/7/SIE exams for registration as an associated person. The denial follows Fleischer's failure to file a petition for an administrative hearing within the 21-day deadline after receiving the Notice of Intent on July 13, 2026. The Office determined that the petition failed to demonstrate that the statutory purpose of ensuring competence was met by other means, nor did it establish a substantial hardship or violation of fairness principles required for a waiver under section 120.542(2), Florida Statutes.
