Final Order Denying Geoffrey Parkinson, Jr.'s Petition for Waiver of Rule 69W-600.0024(6), Florida Administrative Code
The Florida Office of Financial Regulation issued a Final Order denying Geoffrey Parkinson, Jr.'s petition for a waiver of Rule 69W-600.0024(6), which mandates timely passing of specific investment adviser examination qualifications. The Office determined that Parkinson failed to meet the statutory criteria for a waiver under section 120.542(2), Florida Statutes, because his petition was procedurally deficient and failed to demonstrate substantial hardship or a violation of fairness principles. Consequently, the petition was denied due to Parkinson's failure to specify the waiver's duration, improper captioning, and insufficient evidence that his prior exam passage and experience satisfied the underlying statute's purpose.
