FINAL ORDER

The Florida State Board of Cosmetology adopts as part of the Agency's Final Order the conclusion of law, interpretation of Administrative Rules and findings of fact set forth in the Recommended Order of the Hearing Examiner dated August 29, 1975, copies of which are attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

The State Board of Cosmetology feels that the recommended penalty would be unduly harsh under the circumstances in this case since the violation is a first offense and therefore reduces the recommended penalty in the Hearing Examiner's Order of 30 day suspension of salon license to the following:

Letter of Reprimand.

That the entry and publication of this Final Order shall constitute a reprimand or warning to the Respondent not to engage in a course of conduct in the future which would violate the Florida Cosmetology Law, Section 477, Florida Statutes or the Rules and Regulations of the State Board of Cosmetology.

A copy of this Final Order including the reprimand contained herein shall become a part of the Respondent's permanent files.

ENTERED the 22nd day of October, 1975.
