Final Order Denying Melinda J. Abood's Petition for Waiver of Rule 69W-600.0024(6), Florida Administrative Code
The Office of Financial Regulation denies Melinda J. Abood's petition for a waiver from the examination requirements of Rule 69W-600.0024(6), Florida Administrative Code, which mandates passing the Series 65 or Series 66 exams for registration as an associated person. The denial is based on Abood's failure to demonstrate that the waiver would achieve the statute's purpose, create a substantial hardship, or violate principles of fairness, as well as her failure to specify whether the waiver was permanent or temporary. Because Abood did not file a petition for an administrative hearing within the required 21-day period, she waived her right to contest the allegations, and the order becomes final.
