Final Order Denying Cory Schauer's Petition for Waiver from Rule 69W-600.0024(6)(b), Florida Administrative Code
The Office of Financial Regulation denies Cory Schauer's petition for a permanent waiver from the examination requirements of Rule 69W-600.0024(6)(b), Florida Administrative Code, which mandates proof of passing the Series 65 or Series 7/66/SIE examinations within specified timeframes. The denial is based on Schauer's failure to demonstrate that the waiver would achieve the purpose of the underlying statute, create a substantial hardship, or violate principles of fairness, particularly given that his Series 66 exam results expired due to a six-year gap between passing the exam and registration. Schauer failed to file a petition for an administrative hearing in response to the Notice of Intent, constituting a waiver of that right. The order provides notice that judicial review may be sought by filing a notice of appeal with the agency clerk and the District Court of Appeal within 30 days of the order's rendition.
