RECOMMENDED ORDER

Pursuant to notice, the Division of Administrative Hearings by its duly designated hearing officer, K.N. Ayers held a public hearing on the above matter on June 17, 1975, in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida.

APPEARANCES: Ronald C. LaFace, Post Office Box 1752, Tallahassee, Florida, for the Board of Cosmetology.

By this complaint the Florida State Board of Cosmetology seeks to revoke, annul, withdraw or suspend the license of Patricia F. Hogenson d/b/a Hair Ltd., on the grounds that on January 7, 1975, she was operating without a salon license in violation of Sections 477.23(2) and 477.27(6), Florida Statutes.

Exhibit 1, receipt for Notice of Hearing sent by certified mail, was admitted into evidence. On an Election of Remedies form signed and sworn to on June 5, 1975, Ms. Hogenson checked No Contest to the charges. In the explanation of her failure to obtain the proper license she stated that this was her first venture into a business of her own and that she thought she had obtained all the licenses she was required to obtain when she received her city and county occupational licenses. When advised by the inspector that she was required to obtain a license from the State Board of Cosmetology, Ms. Hogenson forthwith applied, and is now in possession of the proper license.

The inspector for the Board verified the statement submitted by Ms.

Hogenson and stated that at the time of the inspection, Ms. Hogenson was out of town and had called upon her arrival back in town. She further verified that Ms. Hogenson is now in full compliance with the license law.

From the foregoing it is concluded that Patricia F. Hogenson, d/b/a Hair Ltd., was on January 7, 1975 operating without a valid salon license. It is further concluded that this failure to comply with the Florida Statutes was inadvertent and unintentional on the part of Ms. Hogenson. It is therefore,

RECOMMENDED that Patricia F. Hogenson d/b/a Hair Ltd., be issued a letter of caution for violating Florida Statutes, Sections 477.23(2) and 477.27(6).

DONE and ENTERED this 3rd day of July, 1975.
