The Florida Office of Financial Regulation issued a final order denying Leah Hadley's petition for a waiver from the examination requirements of Rule 69W-600.0024(6)(b), Florida Administrative Code. The Office determined that Hadley failed to meet the criteria for a waiver under section 120.542(2), Florida Statutes, because her petition contained only generalized statements and did not demonstrate that the statutory purpose of investor protection would be achieved by alternative means. Hadley's failure to file a petition for an administrative hearing within the allotted timeframe constituted a waiver of her right to contest the allegations, leading to the automatic denial of her request.
