The Florida Office of Financial Regulation denies Michael W. Preble's petition for a variance or waiver from Rule 69W-600.0024(6)(b), Florida Administrative Code, which requires proof of passing specific securities examinations within two years of application for registration as an associated person. Preble failed to file a petition for an administrative hearing within the twenty-one-day deadline following the Notice of Intent, constituting a waiver of that right. Consequently, the Office accepts the uncontested findings that Preble does not meet the criteria for a waiver under section 120.542(2), Florida Statutes, and orders the denial of his request to register without current exam qualifications.
