FINAL ORDER RESCINDING AWARDS AND CLOSING FILES


THESE CONSOLIDATED CAUSES are before me for entry of a final order. All of the challenges in the above-styled cases are based upon approvals to apply for licensure issued by the Department pursuant to Emergency Rule 65DER17-2. A copy of each pertinent approval letter that the Department issued is attached to this order. In a final order dated May 15, 2018, an Administrative Law Judge at the Division of Administrative Hearings issued a final order invalidating that emergency rule. See DOAH Case No. l 7-6655RU. As the Department cannot issue awards based upon invalidated rules, all of the approvals at issue are rescinded.There are no further issues between the parties. This matter is closed .

DONE AND ORDERED at Tallahassee, Leon County, Florida, this 1Dt/,da y of

J , 2018.
