Petitions for Declaratory Statements

Declaratory statements are an agency's opinion as to the applicability of a statutory provision, or of any rule or order of the agency, as it applies to the petitioner's particular set of circumstances. 

Per section 120.53, Florida Statutes, all agencies are required to electronically transmit final orders with the Division of Administrative Hearings (DOAH). Users may search for indexed declaratory statements filed by the Department of Health on the DOAH website, as shown here:
