No. 95-1954.

667 So.2d 450 (1996)

Jack L. BECKWITH, Appellant, v. DEPARTMENT OF BUSINESS AND PROFESSIONAL REGULATION, BOARD OF HEARING AID SPECIALISTS, Appellee.

District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District.

January 30, 1996.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

J. Craig Myrick of Shope & Myrick, Naples, for Appellant.

Lisa S. Nelson and Susan E. Lindgard of Department of Business and Professional Regulation, Tallahassee, for Appellee.


ALLEN, Judge.

The appellant challenges a final order of the Board of Hearing Aid Specialists (the board) by which his license was revoked due to his violations of section 484.056(1)(t), Florida Statutes (1989), which prohibits canvassing for the purpose of selling a hearing aid. We set aside the order because the statute unlawfully infringes upon the appellant's First Amendment right to engage in commercial speech.
