With electronic fingerprinting, there is no ink or card. Your fingerprints are rolled across a glass plate and scanned. It is faster and cleaner than the traditional method. Electronic fingerprinting reduces the likelihood of illegible fingerprints and will reduce the overall application processing time.

Please contact them to obtain this information. You can view the service provider options and contact information on the Locate a Provider tab by clicking on the county you are interested in.</p> </div> <button class="accordion">Q14: What is the difference between a Livescan and a hard card scanning?</button> <div class="panel"> <p>A: <b>Livescan</b> device is a term for the scanners used to directly capture fingerprints through a scanning function. Persons being screened place their hands directly on the scanner for reading—their fingerprints are rolled across a glass plate. Fingerprint scanning using a Livescan device provides faster results and generally costs less than hard card scanning as there is less handling involved. Livescan capture also produces a higher quality print, so there is a lower rejection rate of illegible prints (no ink smudging, etc.) and will reduce the overall application processing time. <b>Hard card scanning</b> is a method of submitting a traditional fingerprint card where finger prints are "rolled" in ink onto an FBI fingerprint card. Cards are then converted to "electronic" by using a machine that scans the cards. There is typically a fee associated with "rolling the prints" as a high degree of skill is required to achieve the necessary quality and another fee for the conversion of the prints to an electronic format.</p> </div> <button class="accordion">Q15: What happens if my photograph is not taken at time of fingerprinting?</button> <div class="panel"> <p>A: It is <a href="http://www.leg.state.fl.us/STATUTES/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&Search_String=&URL=0400-0499/0435/Sections/0435.12.html" target="_blank" title="Florida Statutes, Chapter 435, Employment Screening.

For example, if you use an AHCA ORI number and do not have a photograph taken, the Department of Health cannot view or use the results of that screening for your application/license.</p> </div> <button class="accordion">Q16: Can I get photographed at my local sheriff's office?</button> <div class="panel"> <p>A: Please refer to the list of FDLE approved and Clearinghouse compliant Livescan service poviders located on this site under the Livescan Service Provider tab. You can search for your local sheriff's office on that list. If you choose to use your local sheriff's office, please be aware that payment must be processed through the Civilian Applicant Payment System (CAPS) by credit card within 30 days of being printed.

Applicants outside of Florida have two options for completing the Livescan fingerprinting:</p> <ol> <li><b><u>Livescan</u></b><br /> The most straightforward way to complete this process out of state is to locate a provider with LiveScan locations near you who have their equipment registered with the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE).

Some of the common reasons and associated actions you should take include:</p> <ol type="a"> <li>Your fingerprints were not received prior to the letter being mailed. In this case you will need to contact your Livescan service provider to determine if they have submitted the prints to FDLE for processing. You can check the status of this transaction with the Florida Department of Law Enforcement by entering your TCN here: <a href="https://cchinet.fdle.state.fl.us/search/app/tcnlookup?3" target="_blank" title="Civil Workflow Control System Transaction Status Search.

Check the list on this website under the Locate a Provider tab to see if your service provider is on it. If not, you will need to choose another provider from this list.</li> <li>Your fingerprints were not accepted by the Clearinghouse because of missing information, such as the required social security number or individual taxpayer identification number (ITIN) or other important information. If this is the case, you will need to contact the Agency for Health Care Administration at <a href="mailto:BGScreen@ahca.myflorida.com">BGScreen@ahca.myflorida.com</a> or the Florida Department of Law Enforcement at <a href="mailto:ApplicantChecks@fdle.state.fl.us">ApplicantChecks@fdle.state.fl.us</a> to determine the exact cause for the delay and how you should proceed.*</li> </ol> <p> </p> <p>*Scenario C is the most frequently experienced issue.

To qualify, the health care practitioner must meet specific criteria, including various testing, training, and experience qualifications for their profession. The bill also repeals existing licensure by endorsement statutes from various individual practice acts.<br /><br /> The bill establishes criteria under which health care practitioners can be licensed by endorsement.<br /><br /> The bill mandates that applicants comply with the required fingerprint-based criminal history checks for professional licenses, outlines grounds for ineligibility for licensure under this act, such as pending disciplinary proceedings or criminal convictions related to the health care profession, and directs the Department to utilize the National Practitioner Data Bank for verifying applicant credentials.<br /><br /> Each applicable board, or the Department if there is no board, shall adopt rules incorporating application forms for the MOBILE Act licensure pathway within six months after its effective date.<br /><br /> The bill amends current law for licensure by endorsement in various practice acts to conform to the provisions of the MOBILE Act. The bill does not alter current law relating to licensure by endorsement for radiologist assistants, radiologic technologists, or respiratory therapists.<br /><br /> The bill provides that, notwithstanding the changes made to the Florida Statutes by the MOBILE Act, a board or the Department, as applicable, may continue processing applications for licensure by endorsement as authorized under the Florida Statutes (2023) until the rules adopted by such board or the Department to implement the changes made by the MOBILE Act take effect or until six months after the bill’s effective date, whichever occurs first.<br /><br /> The bill requires the Department to submit an annual report to the Governor, the President of the Senate, and the Speaker of the House of Representatives which details, by profession, the number of applications received, licenses issued, denials, complaints received, and disciplinary actions taken against health care practitioners licensed under the MOBILE Act. </p> </div> </div> </div> </div> <button type="button" class="pum-close popmake-close" aria-label="Close"> Close </button> </div> </div> <div id="pum-5411" class="pum pum-overlay pum-theme-215 pum-theme-default-theme popmake-overlay pum-click-to-close click_open" data-popmake="{"id":5411,"slug":"2024-bills-hb-1063","theme_id":215,"cookies":[],"triggers":[{"type":"click_open","settings":{"cookie_name":"","extra_selectors":".HB1063"}}],"mobile_disabled":null,"tablet_disabled":null,"meta":{"display":{"stackable":false,"overlay_disabled":false,"scrollable_content":false,"disable_reposition":false,"size":"medium","responsive_min_width":"0%","responsive_min_width_unit":false,"responsive_max_width":"100%","responsive_max_width_unit":false,"custom_width":"640px","custom_width_unit":false,"custom_height":"380px","custom_height_unit":false,"custom_height_auto":false,"location":"center","position_from_trigger":false,"position_top":"100","position_left":"0","position_bottom":"0","position_right":"0","position_fixed":false,"animation_type":"fade","animation_speed":"350","animation_origin":"center top","overlay_zindex":false,"zindex":"1999999999"},"close":{"text":"","button_delay":"0","overlay_click":"1","esc_press":false,"f4_press":false},"click_open":[]}}" role="dialog" aria-modal="false" > <div id="popmake-5411" class="pum-container popmake theme-215 pum-responsive pum-responsive-medium responsive size-medium"> <div class="pum-content popmake-content" tabindex="0"> <p><style> body { overflow-y:scroll;

The bill prohibits the Department of Health from renewing the license of such a health care practitioner after July 1, 2025, until he or she complies with these background screening requirements.<br /><br /> The bill adds eight new offenses to the statutory list of offenses outlined in section 435.04, F.S., that can disqualify a person from employment in certain regulated professions if he or she has been the subject of certain legal actions regarding such offenses.</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> <button type="button" class="pum-close popmake-close" aria-label="Close"> Close </button> </div> </div> <div id="pum-5101" class="pum pum-overlay pum-theme-215 pum-theme-default-theme popmake-overlay pum-click-to-close click_open" data-popmake="{"id":5101,"slug":"2024-bills-hb-935","theme_id":215,"cookies":[],"triggers":[{"type":"click_open","settings":{"cookie_name":"","extra_selectors":".HB935"}}],"mobile_disabled":null,"tablet_disabled":null,"meta":{"display":{"stackable":false,"overlay_disabled":false,"scrollable_content":false,"disable_reposition":false,"size":"medium","responsive_min_width":"0%","responsive_min_width_unit":false,"responsive_max_width":"100%","responsive_max_width_unit":false,"custom_width":"640px","custom_width_unit":false,"custom_height":"380px","custom_height_unit":false,"custom_height_auto":false,"location":"center","position_from_trigger":false,"position_top":"100","position_left":"0","position_bottom":"0","position_right":"0","position_fixed":false,"animation_type":"fade","animation_speed":"350","animation_origin":"center top","overlay_zindex":false,"zindex":"1999999999"},"close":{"text":"","button_delay":"0","overlay_click":"1","esc_press":false,"f4_press":false},"click_open":[]}}" role="dialog" aria-modal="false" > <div id="popmake-5101" class="pum-container popmake theme-215 pum-responsive pum-responsive-medium responsive size-medium"> <div class="pum-content popmake-content" tabindex="0"> <p><style> body { overflow-y:scroll; overflow-x:hidden; } hr { border: 0; height: 1px !important; width:80%; background: #ccc; background-image: -webkit-linear-gradient(left, #ccc, #ccc) !important; background-image: -moz-linear-gradient(left, #ccc, #ccc) !important; background-image: -ms-linear-gradient(left, #ccc, #ccc) !important; background-image: -o-linear-gradient(left, #ccc, #ccc) !important; } .crush {color:#253e7c;} .bill-wrap16 { padding:4%; width:100%; margin-left:5%; } .bill-wrap16 h4 { font-size:1.65em; font-family:Arial; padding-bottom:4%; color:#253e7c; } .housebills16 { display:inline; float:left; margin:2%; width:45%; font-size:0.90em !important; line-height:2em; } .senatebills16 { display:inline; float:left; margin:2%; width:45%; font-size:0.90em !important; line-height:2em; } .bill-summary16 { background:#b52f33 url(http://www.flhealthsource.gov/files/large/9f06cb8a12ca092106db98036f524de5.png) repeat no-repeat; width:80%; font-weight:600; color:#fff; border-radius:6px; margin-top:11%; margin-left:3%; } .summarytext { font-size:1.0em !important; font-weight:400; } .md-content > div ul li { padding: 5px 0; font-size: 14px !important; font-weight: 300; font-family: Arial; } .md-content a:link, .md-content a:visited { color: #1998c6 !important; font-size:1em !important; } .archive16, .archive17 { padding: 1.5%; font-size: 1em; color: #253E7C; width: 13%; display: inline-block; } /* Content styles */ @media screen and (max-width: 480px) { .md-content { color: #333; background: #dddddd; background: -webkit-linear-gradient(#dddddd, #bababa); /* For Safari 5.1 to 6.0 */ background: -o-linear-gradient(#dddddd, #bababa); /* For Opera 11.1 to 12.0 */ background: -moz-linear-gradient(#dddddd, #bababa); /* For Firefox 3.6 to 15 */ background: linear-gradient(#dddddd, #bababa); /* Standard syntax */ position: relative; border-radius: 3px; margin: 0 auto; } .md-content > div { padding: 10px; margin: 0; font-weight: 300; font-size: 1.05em; } .md-content > div p { margin: 0; padding: 2px; } .md-content > div ul li { padding: 5px 0; font-size: 14px; font-weight: 300; font-family: Arial; } #cboxTopLeft, #cboxTopRight, #cboxTopCenter, #cboxMiddleLeft, #cboxMiddleRight, #cboxBottomLeft, #cboxBottomRight, #cboxBottomCenter {display:none;} #cboxContent {width:100%;} #colorbox {width:100%;} #cboxLoadedContent {width:100%;} #cboxWrapper {max-width:100%;} } </style></p> <div id="hb935" style="padding: 10px;"> <div class="md-content"><img decoding="async" style="max-width: 100%;" src="/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/slider-2024-legislation-bill-page.png" data-pyroimage="true" /> <div> <p><strong class="crush">Home Health Care Services </strong><br /><em>Effective Date: July 1, 2024</em><br /><a style="color: #1998c6;" title="House Bill 935.

The bill specifies advertising requirements for massage therapists and establishments and prohibits advertisements related to prostitution services. The bill also prohibits massage establishments from being used as a principal or temporary domicile, as a shelter or harbor, or be used as sleeping or napping quarters for any person unless the establishment is zoned for residential use under a local ordinance. <br /><br /> The bill requires Department investigators to request valid government identification from all employees while in a massage establishment and requires the Department to notify a federal immigration office if they fail to do so.

It creates a new, integrated care and education model that will focus on state-of-the-art behavioral health research and provide leading-edge education and training for Florida’s behavioral health workforce.<br /><br /> The bill defines behavioral health professions including, but not limited to, psychiatrists licensed under Chapters 458 or 459, psychologists licensed under Chapter 490, psychiatric nurses licensed under Chapter 464, and social workers, marriage and family therapists, and mental health counselors licensed under Chapter 491, F.S.<br /><br /> The bill identifies four hospitals to serve as pilots: Tampa General Hospital in collaboration with the University of South Florida, UF Health Shands Hospital, and UF Health Jacksonville in collaboration with the University of Florida and Jackson Memorial Hospital in collaboration with the University of Miami; however, any hospital can apply for the designation. The bill establishes that participating hospitals will collaborate with other university colleges and schools of medicine, nursing, psychology, social work, pharmacy, public health, or other relevant disciplines to promote and enhance a modernized behavioral health system of care. Further, the hospitals shall provide inpatient and outpatient behavioral health care, address system-wide behavioral health needs, and provide treatment and care for those who need long-term voluntary or involuntary civil commitment.<br /><br /> The bill establishes the Florida Center for Behavioral Health Workforce (the Center) within the Louis de la Parte Florida Mental Health Institute at the University of South Florida to produce research and policy analysis and create best practices for the training of mental health professionals and appropriates $5 million for this purpose. All health care regulatory boards are required to, upon request, provide the Center with specified information regarding licensed behavioral health professionals.</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> <button type="button" class="pum-close popmake-close" aria-label="Close"> Close </button> </div> </div> <div id="pum-4963" class="pum pum-overlay pum-theme-215 pum-theme-default-theme popmake-overlay pum-click-to-close click_open" data-popmake="{"id":4963,"slug":"2024-bills-sb-322","theme_id":215,"cookies":[],"triggers":[{"type":"click_open","settings":{"cookie_name":"","extra_selectors":".SB322"}}],"mobile_disabled":null,"tablet_disabled":null,"meta":{"display":{"stackable":false,"overlay_disabled":false,"scrollable_content":false,"disable_reposition":false,"size":"medium","responsive_min_width":"0%","responsive_min_width_unit":false,"responsive_max_width":"100%","responsive_max_width_unit":false,"custom_width":"640px","custom_width_unit":false,"custom_height":"380px","custom_height_unit":false,"custom_height_auto":false,"location":"center","position_from_trigger":false,"position_top":"100","position_left":"0","position_bottom":"0","position_right":"0","position_fixed":false,"animation_type":"fade","animation_speed":"350","animation_origin":"center top","overlay_zindex":false,"zindex":"1999999999"},"close":{"text":"","button_delay":"0","overlay_click":"1","esc_press":false,"f4_press":false},"click_open":[]}}" role="dialog" aria-modal="false" > <div id="popmake-4963" class="pum-container popmake theme-215 pum-responsive pum-responsive-medium responsive size-medium"> <div class="pum-content popmake-content" tabindex="0"> <p><style> body { overflow-y:scroll; overflow-x:hidden; } hr { border: 0; height: 1px !important; width:80%; background: #ccc; background-image: -webkit-linear-gradient(left, #ccc, #ccc) !important; background-image: -moz-linear-gradient(left, #ccc, #ccc) !important; background-image: -ms-linear-gradient(left, #ccc, #ccc) !important; background-image: -o-linear-gradient(left, #ccc, #ccc) !important; } .crush {color:#253e7c;} .bill-wrap16 { padding:4%; width:100%; margin-left:5%; } .bill-wrap16 h4 { font-size:1.65em; font-family:Arial; padding-bottom:4%; color:#253e7c; } .housebills16 { display:inline; float:left; margin:2%; width:45%; font-size:0.90em !important; line-height:2em; } .senatebills16 { display:inline; float:left; margin:2%; width:45%; font-size:0.90em !important; line-height:2em; } .bill-summary16 { background:#b52f33 url(http://www.flhealthsource.gov/files/large/9f06cb8a12ca092106db98036f524de5.png) repeat no-repeat; width:80%; font-weight:600; color:#fff; border-radius:6px; margin-top:11%; margin-left:3%; } .summarytext { font-size:1.0em !important; font-weight:400; } .md-content > div ul li { padding: 5px 0; font-size: 14px !important; font-weight: 300; font-family: Arial; } .md-content a:link, .md-content a:visited { color: #1998c6 !important; font-size:1em !important; } .archive16, .archive17 { padding: 1.5%; font-size: 1em; color: #253E7C; width: 13%; display: inline-block; } /* Content styles */ @media screen and (max-width: 480px) { .md-content { color: #333; background: #dddddd; background: -webkit-linear-gradient(#dddddd, #bababa); /* For Safari 5.1 to 6.0 */ background: -o-linear-gradient(#dddddd, #bababa); /* For Opera 11.1 to 12.0 */ background: -moz-linear-gradient(#dddddd, #bababa); /* For Firefox 3.6 to 15 */ background: linear-gradient(#dddddd, #bababa); /* Standard syntax */ position: relative; border-radius: 3px; margin: 0 auto; } .md-content > div { padding: 10px; margin: 0; font-weight: 300; font-size: 1.05em; } .md-content > div p { margin: 0; padding: 2px; } .md-content > div ul li { padding: 5px 0; font-size: 14px; font-weight: 300; font-family: Arial; } #cboxTopLeft, #cboxTopRight, #cboxTopCenter, #cboxMiddleLeft, #cboxMiddleRight, #cboxBottomLeft, #cboxBottomRight, #cboxBottomCenter {display:none;} #cboxContent {width:100%;} #colorbox {width:100%;} #cboxLoadedContent {width:100%;} #cboxWrapper {max-width:100%;} } </style></p> <div id="sb322" style="padding: 10px;"> <div class="md-content"><img decoding="async" style="max-width: 100%;" src="/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/slider-2024-legislation-bill-page.png" data-pyroimage="true" /> <div> <p><strong class="crush">Public Records and Meetings</strong><br /><em>Effective Date: March 21, 2024</em><br /><a style="color: #1998c6;" title="Senate Bill 322.

Opens in a new window" href="http://www.flsenate.gov/Session/Bill/2024/7016" target="_blank" rel="noopener">SB 7016</a> (Bill Information)</p> <p><strong class="crush">Summary:</strong><br />The bill aims to grow Florida’s health care workforce by establishing various health care-related programs and initiatives, removing regulations to increase workforce mobility, and expanding access to quality, efficient health care. Specifically, the bill:</p> <ul> <li><strong>Expands Florida Reimbursement Assistance for Medical and Dental Education:</strong> The bill updates and expands the Dental Student Loan Repayment (DSLR) Program and the Florida Reimbursement Assistance for Medical Education (FRAME) Program by allowing mental health professionals, dental hygienists, and private dental practices in areas where there are shortages of practitioners serving Medicaid patients to qualify, increasing loan repayment award amounts for all qualifying health care professionals, and requiring 25 hours of volunteer health services per year to qualify. The bill requires the Department of Health (Department) to provide an annual report detailing loan repayment through both the DSLR and FRAME programs to the Governor and the Legislature through July 1, 2034. The Department is also required to facilitate a study evaluating the impact of student loan repayment programs on health care provider shortages and to submit the study’s results to Governor and the Legislature by January 1, 2023.</li> <li><strong>Expands the Areas of Critical Need Program:</strong> The bill allows Advanced Practice Registered Nurses and Physician Assistants to be issued temporary certificates to practice in these underserved areas, as is currently allowed for physicians.</li> <li><strong>Establishes Limited Licensure for Graduate Assistant Physicians:</strong> The bill creates a new limited license as a graduate assistant physician (GAP) for medical school graduates who have passed their exams but have not yet been matched into a residency program.</li> <li><strong>Revises Regulations for Autonomous Nurse Midwives:</strong> The bill amends requirements for certified autonomous nurse midwives by replacing the requirement for a transfer agreement with a requirement to maintain a written policy for the transfer of patients who need a higher level of care or emergency services and includes rulemaking authority and monitoring provisions.</li> <li><strong>Licensure Compacts:</strong> The bill provides that Florida will enter into the Interstate Medical Licensure Compact, the Audiology and Speech-Language Pathology Interstate Compact, and the Physical Therapy Licensure Compact.</li> <li><strong>Reduces Barriers for Psychologists/Psychiatric Nurses to Work in Baker Act Facilities:</strong> The bill reduces and repeals post-licensure clinical requirements for clinical psychologists and psychiatric nurses to work in Baker Act facilities, includes a three-year clinical experience requirement for more advanced acts performed by a clinical psychologist, and requires a psychiatric nurse to practice within an established protocol.</li> <li><strong>Expands Access to Free and Charitable Clinics:</strong> The bill increases the eligibility threshold to 300% of the federal poverty level, allowing more low-income Floridians access to care.</li> <li><strong>Creates a Health Screening and Practitioner Volunteer Portal and Grant Program:</strong> The bill establishes a health screening portal online where information on low or no-cost health screening opportunities and information for health care practitioners on volunteer opportunities related to such health screenings can be found. The bill also creates a Health Screening Grant Program to support nonprofit entities that are providing no-cost screenings and health services.</li> <li><strong>Creates Advanced Birth Center Designation:</strong> The bill allows a licensed birth center to be designated as an advanced birth center (ABC). The ABC must operate continuously, employ two medical directors (an obstetrician and an anesthesiologist), serve Medicaid recipients, and have a formal arrangement with a nearby hospital in case of an emergency.</li> <li><strong>Requires ER Diversion Partnerships and Care Coordination:</strong> The bill encourages the creation of partnerships between hospitals and primary care settings to improve coordination and encourage patients to establish a medical home to prevent future emergency department visits for non-urgent care by requiring all hospitals with emergency departments to create a plan for helping patients access appropriate care settings when those patients come to the emergency room with a non-emergent condition or indicate they lack regular access to primary care.</li> </ul> <p>The bill removes the sunset date from the Florida Center for Nursing’s (FCN) duty to submit an annual report to the Governor, the President of the Senate, and the Speaker of the House of Representatives. The required report contains FCN’s analysis of nursing education programs and Florida’s nurse supply to determine if there was an increase in their availability and ability to produce quality nurses.</p><br /> <p>The bill expands eligibility for Linking Industry to Nursing Education (LINE) Funding to high-performing independent schools, colleges, or universities that meet performance metrics.</p><br /> <p>The bill creates the Training, Education, and Clinicals in Health (TEACH) Funding Program to offset lost revenue while clinical preceptors are mentoring medical, dental, nursing, and behavioral health students. The program seeks to increase the availability of clinical opportunities, improve the quality of the training sites, and promote the clinical training that prepares students for work as health care professionals.</p><br /> <p>The bill expands graduate medical education residency slots to increase the number of physicians in Florida.</p><br /> <p>The bill expands opportunities for experienced foreign-trained physicians to seek licensure in Florida.</p><br /> <p>The bill directs the Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA) to seek federal approval to include hospital at home as a reimbursable service in Medicaid, so Floridians on Medicaid can receive hospital care at home, if appropriate.</p><br /> <p>The bill expands the Telehealth Minority Maternity Care Program statewide by expanding the capacity for positive maternal health outcomes. The program may enlist county health departments to assist with program implementation and requires annual reporting by the Department to the Governor and the Legislature on program effectiveness.</p><br /> <p>Aggregate data on the maternal and infant health outcomes of program participants. The bill enhances and expands mobile response teams to ensure coverage in every county. </p> </div> </div> </div> </div> <button type="button" class="pum-close popmake-close" aria-label="Close"> Close </button> </div> </div> <div id="pum-4969" class="pum pum-overlay pum-theme-215 pum-theme-default-theme popmake-overlay pum-click-to-close click_open" data-popmake="{"id":4969,"slug":"2024-bills-sb-1512","theme_id":215,"cookies":[],"triggers":[{"type":"click_open","settings":{"cookie_name":"","extra_selectors":".SB1512"}}],"mobile_disabled":null,"tablet_disabled":null,"meta":{"display":{"stackable":false,"overlay_disabled":false,"scrollable_content":false,"disable_reposition":false,"size":"medium","responsive_min_width":"0%","responsive_min_width_unit":false,"responsive_max_width":"100%","responsive_max_width_unit":false,"custom_width":"640px","custom_width_unit":false,"custom_height":"380px","custom_height_unit":false,"custom_height_auto":false,"location":"center","position_from_trigger":false,"position_top":"100","position_left":"0","position_bottom":"0","position_right":"0","position_fixed":false,"animation_type":"fade","animation_speed":"350","animation_origin":"center top","overlay_zindex":false,"zindex":"1999999999"},"close":{"text":"","button_delay":"0","overlay_click":"1","esc_press":false,"f4_press":false},"click_open":[]}}" role="dialog" aria-modal="false" aria-labelledby="pum_popup_title_4969"> <div id="popmake-4969" class="pum-container popmake theme-215 pum-responsive pum-responsive-medium responsive size-medium"> <div id="pum_popup_title_4969" class="pum-title popmake-title"> 2024 Bills - SB 1512 </div> <div class="pum-content popmake-content" tabindex="0"> <p><style> body { overflow-y:scroll; overflow-x:hidden; } hr { border: 0; height: 1px !important; width:80%; background: #ccc; background-image: -webkit-linear-gradient(left, #ccc, #ccc) !important; background-image: -moz-linear-gradient(left, #ccc, #ccc) !important; background-image: -ms-linear-gradient(left, #ccc, #ccc) !important; background-image: -o-linear-gradient(left, #ccc, #ccc) !important; } .crush {color:#253e7c;} .bill-wrap16 { padding:4%; width:100%; margin-left:5%; } .bill-wrap16 h4 { font-size:1.65em; font-family:Arial; padding-bottom:4%; color:#253e7c; } .housebills16 { display:inline; float:left; margin:2%; width:45%; font-size:0.90em !important; line-height:2em; } .senatebills16 { display:inline; float:left; margin:2%; width:45%; font-size:0.90em !important; line-height:2em; } .bill-summary16 { background:#b52f33 url(http://www.flhealthsource.gov/files/large/9f06cb8a12ca092106db98036f524de5.png) repeat no-repeat; width:80%; font-weight:600; color:#fff; border-radius:6px; margin-top:11%; margin-left:3%; } .summarytext { font-size:1.0em !important; font-weight:400; } .md-content > div ul li { padding: 5px 0; font-size: 14px !important; font-weight: 300; font-family: Arial; } .md-content a:link, .md-content a:visited { color: #1998c6 !important; font-size:1em !important; } .archive16, .archive17 { padding: 1.5%; font-size: 1em; color: #253E7C; width: 13%; display: inline-block; } /* Content styles */ @media screen and (max-width: 480px) { .md-content { color: #333; background: #dddddd; background: -webkit-linear-gradient(#dddddd, #bababa); /* For Safari 5.1 to 6.0 */ background: -o-linear-gradient(#dddddd, #bababa); /* For Opera 11.1 to 12.0 */ background: -moz-linear-gradient(#dddddd, #bababa); /* For Firefox 3.6 to 15 */ background: linear-gradient(#dddddd, #bababa); /* Standard syntax */ position: relative; border-radius: 3px; margin: 0 auto; } .md-content > div { padding: 10px; margin: 0; font-weight: 300; font-size: 1.05em; } .md-content > div p { margin: 0; padding: 2px; } .md-content > div ul li { padding: 5px 0; font-size: 14px; font-weight: 300; font-family: Arial; } #cboxTopLeft, #cboxTopRight, #cboxTopCenter, #cboxMiddleLeft, #cboxMiddleRight, #cboxBottomLeft, #cboxBottomRight, #cboxBottomCenter {display:none;} #cboxContent {width:100%;} #colorbox {width:100%;} #cboxLoadedContent {width:100%;} #cboxWrapper {max-width:100%;} } </style></p> <div id="sb1512" style="padding: 10px;"> <div class="md-content"><img decoding="async" style="max-width: 100%;" src="/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/slider-2024-legislation-bill-page.png" data-pyroimage="true" /> <div> <p><strong class="crush">Controlled Substances</strong><br /><em>Effective Date: July 1, 2024</em><br /><a style="color: #1998c6;" title="Senate Bill 1512.

The bill defines terms related to asthma, short-acting bronchodilators, and their administration.<br /><br /> The bill permits authorized health care practitioners to prescribe short-acting bronchodilators and components in the name of a public or private school for use under this act, authorizes licensed pharmacists to dispense short-acting bronchodilators and components pursuant to a prescription issued in the name of a public or private school, exempts a dispensing health care practitioner or pharmacists from disciplinary action under any professional licensure statute or rule, and provides immunity from civil or criminal liability for school personnel and health care practitioners involved in prescribing or administering these medications in accordance with the act.<br /><br /> The bill authorizes schools to acquire and maintain a stock of short-acting bronchodilators and components for emergency use and requires schools to adopt protocols for the administration of short-acting bronchodilators to students, developed by a licensed physician.

Starting July 1, 2016, health care practitioners are required to provide a good faith estimate of anticipated charges to treat a condition if asked by the patient. The estimate must be provided to the patient or their proxy within 7 business days after receiving the request, however the practitioner is not required to adjust the estimate for any potential insurance coverage.

Opens in a new window." rel="noopener">Chapter 2016-231, Laws of Florida</a>. The bill expands the behavioral health workforce and recognizes the critical need for psychiatric care throughout the state.</p> <p>The new law allows a Psychiatric Nurse, as defined in Section 394.455, Florida Statutes, and working within the framework of an established protocol with a Psychiatrist, to prescribe psychotropic controlled substances for the treatment of mental disorders. Grounds for discipline or denial of a license for Psychiatric Nurses are described in Section 8 of the law. Advanced Registered Nurse Practitioners are now authorized to seek certification as Psychiatric Nurses through the Board of Nursing. Existing ARNPs who hold this certification can add it to their license by writing the Board, along with a copy of the certification, at <a href="mailto:MQA.Nursing@FlHealth.gov">MQA.Nursing@FlHealth.gov</a>. A revised protocol agreement with a supervising Psychiatrist will also be required unless the ARNP indicates he or she does not intend to prescribe controlled substances as indicated above. New applicants for ARNP certification will submit documentation as part of the initial licensure process.</p> <p>In addition, the bill amends Chapter 893, Florida Statutes, by revising the term "practitioner" to include Psychiatric Nurses. The prescribing of medication on the premises of a pain-management clinic is still limited to a physician licensed under Chapter 458 or 459, Florida Statutes.</p> <p>Any health care practitioner wishing to prescribe controlled substances must apply for a registration number from the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA). Registration numbers are linked to state licenses and may be suspended or revoked upon any disciplinary action taken against a licensee.

Opens in a new window" rel="noopener">HB 5</a> (Full Text)</p> <p><strong class="crush">Summary:</strong><br /><p> The bill adds definitions of “fatal fetal abnormality” and “medical abortion,” and revised the definition of “gestation” in section 390.011, Florida Statutes. The law prohibits an abortion after a gestational age of 15 weeks and provides an exception to the prohibition when a fetus has not achieved viability under section 390.01112, Florida Statutes, and two physicians certify in writing that the fetus has a fatal fetal abnormality based on reasonable medical judgment. The bill clarifies the requirement for monthly reporting to the Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA), on a form adopted by rule, of surgical and medical abortions by the director of a medical facility where abortions are performed. The bill also requires physicians who perform abortions outside of a medical facility to submit a monthly report to AHCA. The bill specifies that if a woman having the abortion provides evidence that she is a victim of human trafficking, this information is required to be included in the monthly report as the reason the abortion was performed. The bill also requires that the monthly report include the number of drug regimens dispensed or prescribed for a medical abortion.   </p> </div> </div> </div> </div> <button type="button" class="pum-close popmake-close" aria-label="Close"> Close </button> </div> </div> <div id="pum-3461" class="pum pum-overlay pum-theme-215 pum-theme-default-theme popmake-overlay pum-click-to-close click_open" data-popmake="{"id":3461,"slug":"2022-bills-hb-1209","theme_id":215,"cookies":[],"triggers":[{"type":"click_open","settings":{"cookie_name":"","extra_selectors":".HB1209-22"}}],"mobile_disabled":null,"tablet_disabled":null,"meta":{"display":{"stackable":false,"overlay_disabled":false,"scrollable_content":false,"disable_reposition":false,"size":"medium","responsive_min_width":"0%","responsive_min_width_unit":false,"responsive_max_width":"100%","responsive_max_width_unit":false,"custom_width":"640px","custom_width_unit":false,"custom_height":"380px","custom_height_unit":false,"custom_height_auto":false,"location":"center","position_from_trigger":false,"position_top":"100","position_left":"0","position_bottom":"0","position_right":"0","position_fixed":false,"animation_type":"fade","animation_speed":"350","animation_origin":"center top","overlay_zindex":false,"zindex":"1999999999"},"close":{"text":"","button_delay":"0","overlay_click":"1","esc_press":false,"f4_press":false},"click_open":[]}}" role="dialog" aria-modal="false" > <div id="popmake-3461" class="pum-container popmake theme-215 pum-responsive pum-responsive-medium responsive size-medium"> <div class="pum-content popmake-content" tabindex="0"> <style> body { overflow-y:scroll; overflow-x:hidden; } hr { border: 0; height: 1px !important; width:80%; background: #ccc; background-image: -webkit-linear-gradient(left, #ccc, #ccc) !important; background-image: -moz-linear-gradient(left, #ccc, #ccc) !important; background-image: -ms-linear-gradient(left, #ccc, #ccc) !important; background-image: -o-linear-gradient(left, #ccc, #ccc) !important; } .crush {color:#4a4d5a;} .bill-wrap { padding:4%; width:100%; margin-left:5%; } .bill-wrap h4 { font-size:1.65em; font-family:Arial; padding-bottom:4%; color:#251313; } .housebills { display:inline; float:left; margin:2%; width:45%; font-size:0.90em !important; line-height:2em; } .senatebills { display:inline; float:left; margin:2%; width:45%; font-size:0.90em !important; line-height:2em; } .bill-summary { background:#4a4d5a; width:80%; font-weight:600; color:#fff; border-radius:6px; margin-top:11%; margin-left:3%; } .summarytext { font-size:1.0em !important; font-weight:400; } .md-content > div ul li { padding: 5px 0; font-size: 14px !important; font-weight: 300; font-family: Arial; } .md-content a:link, .md-content a:visited { color: #1998c6 !important; font-size:1em !important; } .archive16, .archive17, .archive18 { padding:1.5%; font-size:1em; color:#253E7C; width: 13%; display: inline-block; } .archive16 a, .archive17 a, .archive18 a { color:#253E7C !important; } .archive16 { float: left; } /* Content styles */ @media screen and (max-width: 480px) { .md-content { color: #333; background: #dddddd; background: -webkit-linear-gradient(#dddddd, #bababa); /* For Safari 5.1 to 6.0 */ background: -o-linear-gradient(#dddddd, #bababa); /* For Opera 11.1 to 12.0 */ background: -moz-linear-gradient(#dddddd, #bababa); /* For Firefox 3.6 to 15 */ background: linear-gradient(#dddddd, #bababa); /* Standard syntax */ position: relative; border-radius: 3px; margin: 0 auto; } .md-content > div { padding: 10px; margin: 0; font-weight: 300; font-size: 1.05em; } .md-content > div p { margin: 0; padding: 2px; } .md-content > div ul li { padding: 5px 0; font-size: 14px; font-weight: 300; font-family: Arial; } #cboxTopLeft, #cboxTopRight, #cboxTopCenter, #cboxMiddleLeft, #cboxMiddleRight, #cboxBottomLeft, #cboxBottomRight, #cboxBottomCenter {display:none;} #cboxContent {width:100%;} #colorbox {width:100%;} #cboxLoadedContent {width:100%;} #cboxWrapper {max-width:100%;} } </style> <div id="hb17" style="padding:10px;"> <div class="md-content"><img decoding="async" data-pyroimage="true" src="/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/slider-2022-legislation-bill-page.jpg" style="max-width:100%;"> <div> <p><strong class="crush">Administration of Vaccines (Pharmacy) </strong><br> <em>Effective Date: July 1, 2022</em><br> <a href="https://www.flsenate.gov/Session/Bill/2022/1209/BillText/er/PDF" style="color:#1998c6;" target="_blank" title="House Bill 17.

Upon enactment of the compact, the bill authorizes eligible Florida licensed mental health counseling practitioners to apply for licensure to provide services to out-of-state patients through either telehealth or in-person across compact states. Likewise, out-of-state licensed professional counselors in compact states will be authorized to provide services to Florida patients through telehealth and in-person.

The new law permits Florida’s approved dispensing organizations to cultivate, process and dispense both low-THC cannabis and the higher potency medical cannabis. Physicians are also now permitted to order full potency, medical cannabis for patients suffering from a terminal condition attested to by two physicians.</p> <p>The law also expanded the Department’s enforcement authority over medical cannabis regulations.

Opens in a new window" href="https://www.flsenate.gov/Session/Bill/2022/768/BillText/er/PDF" target="_blank" rel="noopener">SB 768</a> (Full Text)</p> <p><strong class="crush">Section 8: Designated Health Care Professionals – Information Required for Licensure</strong><br />The bill requires health care professionals licensed under chapters 458, 459, 460, or 461, Florida Statutes, to provide specified information upon initial licensure or upon license renewal including the medical school attended and coursework completed; the name of each hospital where the applicant has privileges; the address of primary practice; any certification received from a specialty board; the year the applicant began practicing; any appointment to the faculty of a medical school; relevant professional qualifications; information regarding any criminal convictions; and any final disciplinary action. The bill requires submission of proof that applicants licensed under chapters 458, 459, or chapter 461, Florida Statutes, provide proof of payment of assessments to fund the Florida Birth-Related Neurological Injury Compensation Association required under section 766.314, Florida Statutes.</p> <p><strong class="crush">Section 9: Chiropractic Medicine – Initial Licensure Requirements</strong><br />The bill clarifies the minimum licensure requirements for chiropractic medicine. Due to recent changes in accreditation nomenclature at the U.S. Department of Education, all accreditation references in this section were changed from “regionally” to “institutionally” accredited college or university.</p> <p><strong class="crush">Sections 10 and 11: Nursing – Licensure by Examination</strong><br />The bill removes the requirement for graduates from an approved program who have not taken the licensure examination within 6 months of graduation to complete a board-approved licensure examination preparatory course.</p> <p><strong class="crush">Sections 12-16: Midwifery</strong><br />The bill clarifies the definitions for “approved midwifery program”, “preceptor”, and “prelicensure course”. The bill clarifies approved midwifery program education standards and clinical training requirements and aligns midwifery program approval standards with accreditation and licensing standards for direct entry midwifery programs. The bill also refines requirements for licensing midwives by examination and endorsement and clarifies requirements for temporary certification of midwives in areas of critical need and expanded access to midwifery care in areas of critical need by designating additional practice settings in conformance with other licensed health care professions.</p> <p><strong class="crush">Section 17: Orthotists and Prosthetists </strong><br />The bill clarifies the method for the collection and processing of applicant fingerprint records for the purpose of background screening. Due to recent changes in accreditation nomenclature at the U.S. Department of Education, all accreditation references in this section were changed from “regionally” to “institutionally” accredited college or university.</p> <p><strong class="crush">Section 18: Clinical Laboratory Personnel </strong><br />Due to recent changes in accreditation nomenclature at the U.S. Department of Education, all accreditation references in this section were changed from “regionally” to “institutionally” accredited college or university.</p> <p><strong class="crush">Sections 19, 20, 21: Psychology </strong><br />The bill clarifies the definitions and educational requirements for psychologists applying for licensure by examination or provisional licensure. The bill defines a “doctoral degree from an APA accredited program” as a Psy.D., an Ed.D. in psychology, or a Ph.D. in psychology from a psychology program at an educational institution that, at the time the applicant was enrolled and graduated had both an institutional accreditation from an agency recognized and approved by the U.S. Department of Education or was recognized as a member in good standing with the Association of Universities and Colleges of Canada, and had programmatic accreditation from the American Psychological Association (APA). <br /><br />The bill further defines “doctoral degree in psychology” as a Psy.D., an Ed.D. in psychology, or a Ph.D. in psychology from a psychology program at an educational institution that, at the time the applicant was enrolled and graduated, had institutional accreditation from an agency recognized and approved by the U.S. Department of Education or was recognized as a member in good standing with the Association of Universities and Colleges of Canada. The bill requires psychologists applying for licensure to have obtained a doctoral degree from an APA accredited program or the equivalent of a degree from an APA-accredited program from a school or university located outside the United States which was officially recognized by the government of the country in which it is located as an institution or program to train students to practice professional psychology. Provisional licensure applicants must have earned a degree from an APA accredited program.</p> <p><strong class="crush">Section 22: Clinical Social Work, Marriage & Family Therapy, and Mental Health Counseling </strong><br />The bill clarifies the method for registration, payment of fees, and completion of the national examination. Due to recent changes in accreditation nomenclature at the U.S. Department of Education, all accreditation references in this section were changed from “regionally” to “institutionally” accredited college or university. <br /><br />The bill creates three pathways to licensure for applicants for a marriage and family therapy license to meet the minimum educational requirements by one of the following methods:</p> <ul> <li>A minimum of a master’s degree from a Commission on Accreditation for Marriage and Family Therapy Education (COAMFTE);</li> <li>A minimum of a master’s degree with an emphasis in marriage and family therapy from a college or university that is accredited by the Council on Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs (CACREP); or</li> <li>A minimum of a master’s degree with an emphasis in marriage and family therapy or a closely related field, with a degree conferred before September 1, 2027, from an institutionally accredited college or university.</li> </ul> <p>The bill also updates the education requirements for marriage and family therapists by correcting an obsolete reference to accreditation by Commission on Recognition of Postsecondary Accreditation (CORPA), which was dissolved in 1997. The bill replaces the CORPA with the CHEA or its successors. <br /><br />Existing statutory language requires that beginning July 1, 2025, mental health therapy licensure by examination applicants must graduate from a CACREP-accredited program. The bill adds the accrediting body, “Masters in Psychology and Counseling Accreditation Council,” or other equivalent accrediting body to the list of accepted programs.</p> <p><strong class="crush">Sections 24 and 25: Florida Birth-Related Neurological Injury Compensation Association (NICA) </strong><br />The bill changes references from the “Department of Business and Professional Regulation” to the “Department of Health” as it relates to the payment of the Florida Birth-Related Neurological Injury Compensation by applicants and licensees. The bill makes the Florida Birth-Related Neurological Injury Compensation Association (“Association”) responsible for making all assessments required by the Florida Birth-Related Neurological Injury Compensation Plan except for initial assessments of physicians licensed by the Department of Health and certain casualty insurers. The bill modifies the frequency for the Department of Health to provide the Association electronic reports of all physicians licensed under Chapters 458 and 459, Florida Statutes, to monthly. The bill authorizes the Association to file suit in circuit court to collect assessments under certain circumstances and requires the Association to notify the Department of Health and the applicable board of any unpaid final judgments against a physician within seven days after the entry of a final judgment.</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> <button type="button" class="pum-close popmake-close" aria-label="Close"> Close </button> </div> </div> <div id="pum-3401" class="pum pum-overlay pum-theme-215 pum-theme-default-theme popmake-overlay pum-click-to-close click_open" data-popmake="{"id":3401,"slug":"2023-bills-hb-33","theme_id":215,"cookies":[],"triggers":[{"type":"click_open","settings":{"cookie_name":"","extra_selectors":".HB33"}}],"mobile_disabled":null,"tablet_disabled":null,"meta":{"display":{"stackable":false,"overlay_disabled":false,"scrollable_content":false,"disable_reposition":false,"size":"medium","responsive_min_width":"0%","responsive_min_width_unit":false,"responsive_max_width":"100%","responsive_max_width_unit":false,"custom_width":"640px","custom_width_unit":false,"custom_height":"380px","custom_height_unit":false,"custom_height_auto":false,"location":"center","position_from_trigger":false,"position_top":"100","position_left":"0","position_bottom":"0","position_right":"0","position_fixed":false,"animation_type":"fade","animation_speed":"350","animation_origin":"center top","overlay_zindex":false,"zindex":"1999999999"},"close":{"text":"","button_delay":"0","overlay_click":"1","esc_press":false,"f4_press":false},"click_open":[]}}" role="dialog" aria-modal="false" > <div id="popmake-3401" class="pum-container popmake theme-215 pum-responsive pum-responsive-medium responsive size-medium"> <div class="pum-content popmake-content" tabindex="0"> <p><style> body { overflow-y:scroll; overflow-x:hidden; } hr { border: 0; height: 1px !important; width:80%; background: #ccc; background-image: -webkit-linear-gradient(left, #ccc, #ccc) !important; background-image: -moz-linear-gradient(left, #ccc, #ccc) !important; background-image: -ms-linear-gradient(left, #ccc, #ccc) !important; background-image: -o-linear-gradient(left, #ccc, #ccc) !important; } .crush {color:#253e7c;} .bill-wrap16 { padding:4%; width:100%; margin-left:5%; } .bill-wrap16 h4 { font-size:1.65em; font-family:Arial; padding-bottom:4%; color:#253e7c; } .housebills16 { display:inline; float:left; margin:2%; width:45%; font-size:0.90em !important; line-height:2em; } .senatebills16 { display:inline; float:left; margin:2%; width:45%; font-size:0.90em !important; line-height:2em; } .bill-summary16 { background:#b52f33 url(http://www.flhealthsource.gov/files/large/9f06cb8a12ca092106db98036f524de5.png) repeat no-repeat; width:80%; font-weight:600; color:#fff; border-radius:6px; margin-top:11%; margin-left:3%; } .summarytext { font-size:1.0em !important; font-weight:400; } .md-content > div ul li { padding: 5px 0; font-size: 14px !important; font-weight: 300; font-family: Arial; } .md-content a:link, .md-content a:visited { color: #1998c6 !important; font-size:1em !important; } .archive16, .archive17 { padding: 1.5%; font-size: 1em; color: #253E7C; width: 13%; display: inline-block; } /* Content styles */ @media screen and (max-width: 480px) { .md-content { color: #333; background: #dddddd; background: -webkit-linear-gradient(#dddddd, #bababa); /* For Safari 5.1 to 6.0 */ background: -o-linear-gradient(#dddddd, #bababa); /* For Opera 11.1 to 12.0 */ background: -moz-linear-gradient(#dddddd, #bababa); /* For Firefox 3.6 to 15 */ background: linear-gradient(#dddddd, #bababa); /* Standard syntax */ position: relative; border-radius: 3px; margin: 0 auto; } .md-content > div { padding: 10px; margin: 0; font-weight: 300; font-size: 1.05em; } .md-content > div p { margin: 0; padding: 2px; } .md-content > div ul li { padding: 5px 0; font-size: 14px; font-weight: 300; font-family: Arial; } #cboxTopLeft, #cboxTopRight, #cboxTopCenter, #cboxMiddleLeft, #cboxMiddleRight, #cboxBottomLeft, #cboxBottomRight, #cboxBottomCenter {display:none;} #cboxContent {width:100%;} #colorbox {width:100%;} #cboxLoadedContent {width:100%;} #cboxWrapper {max-width:100%;} } </style></p> <div id="hb33" style="padding: 10px;"> <div class="md-content"><img decoding="async" style="max-width: 100%;" src="/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/2023.06.13.-WGT-Slider-2023-Bills.png" data-pyroimage="true" /> <div> <p><strong class="crush">Psychology Interjurisdictional Compact </strong><br /><em>Effective Date: July 1, 2023</em><br /><a style="color: #1998c6;" title="House Bill 33.

The bill establishes guidance for such supplies, and provides civil and criminal immunity to campus law enforcement officers who administer or attempt to administer an emergency opioid antagonist.</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> <button type="button" class="pum-close popmake-close" aria-label="Close"> Close </button> </div> </div> <div id="pum-3372" class="pum pum-overlay pum-theme-215 pum-theme-default-theme popmake-overlay pum-click-to-close click_open" data-popmake="{"id":3372,"slug":"2023-bills-hb-1133","theme_id":215,"cookies":[],"triggers":[{"type":"click_open","settings":{"cookie_name":"","extra_selectors":".HB1133"}}],"mobile_disabled":null,"tablet_disabled":null,"meta":{"display":{"stackable":false,"overlay_disabled":false,"scrollable_content":false,"disable_reposition":false,"size":"medium","responsive_min_width":"0%","responsive_min_width_unit":false,"responsive_max_width":"100%","responsive_max_width_unit":false,"custom_width":"640px","custom_width_unit":false,"custom_height":"380px","custom_height_unit":false,"custom_height_auto":false,"location":"center","position_from_trigger":false,"position_top":"100","position_left":"0","position_bottom":"0","position_right":"0","position_fixed":false,"animation_type":"fade","animation_speed":"350","animation_origin":"center top","overlay_zindex":false,"zindex":"1999999999"},"close":{"text":"","button_delay":"0","overlay_click":"1","esc_press":false,"f4_press":false},"click_open":[]}}" role="dialog" aria-modal="false" > <div id="popmake-3372" class="pum-container popmake theme-215 pum-responsive pum-responsive-medium responsive size-medium"> <div class="pum-content popmake-content" tabindex="0"> <p><style> body { overflow-y:scroll; overflow-x:hidden; } hr { border: 0; height: 1px !important; width:80%; background: #ccc; background-image: -webkit-linear-gradient(left, #ccc, #ccc) !important; background-image: -moz-linear-gradient(left, #ccc, #ccc) !important; background-image: -ms-linear-gradient(left, #ccc, #ccc) !important; background-image: -o-linear-gradient(left, #ccc, #ccc) !important; } .crush {color:#253e7c;} .bill-wrap16 { padding:4%; width:100%; margin-left:5%; } .bill-wrap16 h4 { font-size:1.65em; font-family:Arial; padding-bottom:4%; color:#253e7c; } .housebills16 { display:inline; float:left; margin:2%; width:45%; font-size:0.90em !important; line-height:2em; } .senatebills16 { display:inline; float:left; margin:2%; width:45%; font-size:0.90em !important; line-height:2em; } .bill-summary16 { background:#b52f33 url(http://www.flhealthsource.gov/files/large/9f06cb8a12ca092106db98036f524de5.png) repeat no-repeat; width:80%; font-weight:600; color:#fff; border-radius:6px; margin-top:11%; margin-left:3%; } .summarytext { font-size:1.0em !important; font-weight:400; } .md-content > div ul li { padding: 5px 0; font-size: 14px !important; font-weight: 300; font-family: Arial; } .md-content a:link, .md-content a:visited { color: #1998c6 !important; font-size:1em !important; } .archive16, .archive17 { padding: 1.5%; font-size: 1em; color: #253E7C; width: 13%; display: inline-block; } /* Content styles */ @media screen and (max-width: 480px) { .md-content { color: #333; background: #dddddd; background: -webkit-linear-gradient(#dddddd, #bababa); /* For Safari 5.1 to 6.0 */ background: -o-linear-gradient(#dddddd, #bababa); /* For Opera 11.1 to 12.0 */ background: -moz-linear-gradient(#dddddd, #bababa); /* For Firefox 3.6 to 15 */ background: linear-gradient(#dddddd, #bababa); /* Standard syntax */ position: relative; border-radius: 3px; margin: 0 auto; } .md-content > div { padding: 10px; margin: 0; font-weight: 300; font-size: 1.05em; } .md-content > div p { margin: 0; padding: 2px; } .md-content > div ul li { padding: 5px 0; font-size: 14px; font-weight: 300; font-family: Arial; } #cboxTopLeft, #cboxTopRight, #cboxTopCenter, #cboxMiddleLeft, #cboxMiddleRight, #cboxBottomLeft, #cboxBottomRight, #cboxBottomCenter {display:none;} #cboxContent {width:100%;} #colorbox {width:100%;} #cboxLoadedContent {width:100%;} #cboxWrapper {max-width:100%;} } </style></p> <div id="hb1133" style="padding: 10px;"> <div class="md-content"><img decoding="async" style="max-width: 100%;" src="/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/2023.06.13.-WGT-Slider-2023-Bills.png" data-pyroimage="true" /> <div> <p><strong class="crush">Physician Assistant Licensure</strong><br /><em>Effective Date: July 1, 2023</em><br /><a style="color: #1998c6;" title="House Bill 1133.

The bill distinguishes between OTC hearing aids and prescription hearing aids, retaining regulation of the latter. The bill amends the statute regulating distribution of hearing aids by hearing aid specialists and audiologists to limit its application exclusively to prescription hearing aids. The bill exempts individuals exclusively dispensing OTC hearing aids from regulation. This aligns Florida law with the federal rule which specifies that states may not establish regulatory measures or require licensure for individuals who dispense OTC hearing aids. The bill makes conforming changes throughout Chapters 468 and 484, F.S., to specify that regulations apply only to prescription hearing aids. The bill limits the consumer protections in current law to only apply to prescription hearing aids, and not to OTC hearing aids. The bill also specifies that the prohibition on distributing of hearing aids by mail applies only to prescription hearing aids.</p> <p>The bill authorizes autonomous advanced practice registered nurses and adds board-eligible or board-certified family medicine physicians as health care practitioners eligible to certify brain deaths under certain conditions.</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> <button type="button" class="pum-close popmake-close" aria-label="Close"> Close </button> </div> </div> <div id="pum-3364" class="pum pum-overlay pum-theme-215 pum-theme-default-theme popmake-overlay pum-click-to-close click_open" data-popmake="{"id":3364,"slug":"2023-bills-hb-1471","theme_id":215,"cookies":[],"triggers":[{"type":"click_open","settings":{"cookie_name":"","extra_selectors":".HB1471"}}],"mobile_disabled":null,"tablet_disabled":null,"meta":{"display":{"stackable":false,"overlay_disabled":false,"scrollable_content":false,"disable_reposition":false,"size":"medium","responsive_min_width":"0%","responsive_min_width_unit":false,"responsive_max_width":"100%","responsive_max_width_unit":false,"custom_width":"640px","custom_width_unit":false,"custom_height":"380px","custom_height_unit":false,"custom_height_auto":false,"location":"center","position_from_trigger":false,"position_top":"100","position_left":"0","position_bottom":"0","position_right":"0","position_fixed":false,"animation_type":"fade","animation_speed":"350","animation_origin":"center top","overlay_zindex":false,"zindex":"1999999999"},"close":{"text":"","button_delay":"0","overlay_click":"1","esc_press":false,"f4_press":false},"click_open":[]}}" role="dialog" aria-modal="false" > <div id="popmake-3364" class="pum-container popmake theme-215 pum-responsive pum-responsive-medium responsive size-medium"> <div class="pum-content popmake-content" tabindex="0"> <p><style> body { overflow-y:scroll; overflow-x:hidden; } hr { border: 0; height: 1px !important; width:80%; background: #ccc; background-image: -webkit-linear-gradient(left, #ccc, #ccc) !important; background-image: -moz-linear-gradient(left, #ccc, #ccc) !important; background-image: -ms-linear-gradient(left, #ccc, #ccc) !important; background-image: -o-linear-gradient(left, #ccc, #ccc) !important; } .crush {color:#253e7c;} .bill-wrap16 { padding:4%; width:100%; margin-left:5%; } .bill-wrap16 h4 { font-size:1.65em; font-family:Arial; padding-bottom:4%; color:#253e7c; } .housebills16 { display:inline; float:left; margin:2%; width:45%; font-size:0.90em !important; line-height:2em; } .senatebills16 { display:inline; float:left; margin:2%; width:45%; font-size:0.90em !important; line-height:2em; } .bill-summary16 { background:#b52f33 url(http://www.flhealthsource.gov/files/large/9f06cb8a12ca092106db98036f524de5.png) repeat no-repeat; width:80%; font-weight:600; color:#fff; border-radius:6px; margin-top:11%; margin-left:3%; } .summarytext { font-size:1.0em !important; font-weight:400; } .md-content > div ul li { padding: 5px 0; font-size: 14px !important; font-weight: 300; font-family: Arial; } .md-content a:link, .md-content a:visited { color: #1998c6 !important; font-size:1em !important; } .archive16, .archive17 { padding: 1.5%; font-size: 1em; color: #253E7C; width: 13%; display: inline-block; } /* Content styles */ @media screen and (max-width: 480px) { .md-content { color: #333; background: #dddddd; background: -webkit-linear-gradient(#dddddd, #bababa); /* For Safari 5.1 to 6.0 */ background: -o-linear-gradient(#dddddd, #bababa); /* For Opera 11.1 to 12.0 */ background: -moz-linear-gradient(#dddddd, #bababa); /* For Firefox 3.6 to 15 */ background: linear-gradient(#dddddd, #bababa); /* Standard syntax */ position: relative; border-radius: 3px; margin: 0 auto; } .md-content > div { padding: 10px; margin: 0; font-weight: 300; font-size: 1.05em; } .md-content > div p { margin: 0; padding: 2px; } .md-content > div ul li { padding: 5px 0; font-size: 14px; font-weight: 300; font-family: Arial; } #cboxTopLeft, #cboxTopRight, #cboxTopCenter, #cboxMiddleLeft, #cboxMiddleRight, #cboxBottomLeft, #cboxBottomRight, #cboxBottomCenter {display:none;} #cboxContent {width:100%;} #colorbox {width:100%;} #cboxLoadedContent {width:100%;} #cboxWrapper {max-width:100%;} } </style></p> <div id="hb1471" style="padding: 10px;"> <div class="md-content"><img decoding="async" style="max-width: 100%;" src="/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/2023.06.13.-WGT-Slider-2023-Bills.png" data-pyroimage="true" /> <div> <p><strong class="crush">Health Care Provider Accountability</strong><br /><em>Effective Date: July 1, 2023</em><br /><a style="color: #1998c6;" title="House Bill 1471.

Section 400.022, F.S., establishes an extensive list of resident rights that a nursing home must afford to its residents. The list includes, but is not limited to, the right to civil and religious liberties, the right to participate in social and other activities that do not impact other residents’ rights, and the right to refuse medication and treatment. The bill adds to the list of nursing home residents’ rights the right to be free from sexual abuse, neglect, and exploitation.</p> <p>The bill authorizes the Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA) to seek an ex parte temporary injunction to prevent continuing unlicensed activity by a provider who has been warned by the agency to cease such unlicensed activity. The bill establishes the temporary injunction process, including petition requirements, subsequent inspections to determine compliance, and a permanent injunction process if the provider is not complying with the ex parte temporary injunction. These changes apply to any entity licensed by AHCA.</p> <p>With regard to office surgeries, the bill:</p> <ul> <li>Establishes standards of practice for physicians performing gluteal fat grafting procedures in office surgery settings.</li> <li>Requires that any duty delegated by a physician during a gluteal fat grafting procedure must be completed under the direct supervision of the physician.</li> <li>Provides that gluteal fat extractions and injections may not be delegated and that injections must be done under ultrasound guidance to ensure that fat is only injected into the subcutaneous space and not across the fascia covering gluteal muscle.</li> <li>Requires the Department to inspect any office where office surgeries will be done before the office is registered – if the office refuses such inspection, it will not be registered until the inspection can be completed.</li> <li>Provides that if an office that has already been registered with the Department refuses an inspection, its registration must be immediately suspended for 14 days and remain suspended until the inspection is completed.</li> </ul> </div> </div> </div> </div> <button type="button" class="pum-close popmake-close" aria-label="Close"> Close </button> </div> </div> <div id="pum-3362" class="pum pum-overlay pum-theme-215 pum-theme-default-theme popmake-overlay pum-click-to-close click_open" data-popmake="{"id":3362,"slug":"2017-bills-hb-1307-2","theme_id":215,"cookies":[],"triggers":[{"type":"click_open","settings":{"cookie_name":"","extra_selectors":".hb-1307"}}],"mobile_disabled":null,"tablet_disabled":null,"meta":{"display":{"stackable":false,"overlay_disabled":false,"scrollable_content":false,"disable_reposition":false,"size":"medium","responsive_min_width":"0%","responsive_min_width_unit":false,"responsive_max_width":"100%","responsive_max_width_unit":false,"custom_width":"640px","custom_width_unit":false,"custom_height":"380px","custom_height_unit":false,"custom_height_auto":false,"location":"center","position_from_trigger":false,"position_top":"100","position_left":"0","position_bottom":"0","position_right":"0","position_fixed":false,"animation_type":"fade","animation_speed":"350","animation_origin":"center top","overlay_zindex":false,"zindex":"1999999999"},"close":{"text":"","button_delay":"0","overlay_click":"1","esc_press":false,"f4_press":false},"click_open":[]}}" role="dialog" aria-modal="false" > <div id="popmake-3362" class="pum-container popmake theme-215 pum-responsive pum-responsive-medium responsive size-medium"> <div class="pum-content popmake-content" tabindex="0"> <style> body { overflow-y:scroll;

It defines emotional support animal as an animal that is not required to be trained to assist a person with a disability but, by virtue of its presence, provides support to alleviate one or more identified symptoms or effects of a person’s disability.<br /> <br /> Written documentation that reasonably supports that a person has a disability may be provided by any federal, state, or local government agency, specified health care practitioners, telehealth providers, or out-of-state practitioners who have provided in-person care or services to the tenant on at least one occasion. The bill prohibits a housing provider to request information that discloses the diagnosis or severity of a person’s disability or any medical records relating to the disability.<br /> <br /> The bill creates a new cause for disciplinary action against a health care practitioner’s license for providing supporting information for an emotional support animal, without personal knowledge of the patient’s disability or disability-related need. It also creates the misdemeanor crime of providing false or fraudulent emotional support animal information or documentation and requires a convicted person to perform 30 hours of community service for an organization serving persons with disabilities, or another entity or organization the court determines appropriate.</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> <button type="button" class="pum-close popmake-close" aria-label="Close"> Close </button> </div> </div> <div id="pum-3241" class="pum pum-overlay pum-theme-215 pum-theme-default-theme popmake-overlay pum-click-to-close click_open" data-popmake="{"id":3241,"slug":"2020-bills-sb-698","theme_id":215,"cookies":[],"triggers":[{"type":"click_open","settings":{"extra_selectors":"#sb698"}}],"mobile_disabled":null,"tablet_disabled":null,"meta":{"display":{"stackable":false,"overlay_disabled":false,"scrollable_content":false,"disable_reposition":false,"size":"medium","responsive_min_width":"0%","responsive_min_width_unit":false,"responsive_max_width":"100%","responsive_max_width_unit":false,"custom_width":"640px","custom_width_unit":false,"custom_height":"380px","custom_height_unit":false,"custom_height_auto":false,"location":"center","position_from_trigger":false,"position_top":"100","position_left":"0","position_bottom":"0","position_right":"0","position_fixed":false,"animation_type":"fade","animation_speed":"350","animation_origin":"center top","overlay_zindex":false,"zindex":"1999999999"},"close":{"text":"","button_delay":"0","overlay_click":"1","esc_press":false,"f4_press":false},"click_open":[]}}" role="dialog" aria-modal="false" > <div id="popmake-3241" class="pum-container popmake theme-215 pum-responsive pum-responsive-medium responsive size-medium"> <div class="pum-content popmake-content" tabindex="0"> <style> body { overflow-y:scroll; overflow-x:hidden; } hr { border: 0; height: 1px !important; width:80%; background: #ccc; background-image: -webkit-linear-gradient(left, #ccc, #ccc) !important; background-image: -moz-linear-gradient(left, #ccc, #ccc) !important; background-image: -ms-linear-gradient(left, #ccc, #ccc) !important; background-image: -o-linear-gradient(left, #ccc, #ccc) !important; } .crush {color:#251313;} .bill-wrap { padding:4%; width:100%; margin-left:5%; } .bill-wrap h4 { font-size:1.65em; font-family:Arial; padding-bottom:4%; color:#251313; } .housebills { display:inline; float:left; margin:2%; width:45%; font-size:0.90em !important; line-height:2em; } .senatebills { display:inline; float:left; margin:2%; width:45%; font-size:0.90em !important; line-height:2em; } .bill-summary { background:#251313; width:80%; font-weight:600; color:#fff; border-radius:6px; margin-top:11%; margin-left:3%; } .summarytext { font-size:1.0em !important; font-weight:400; } .md-content > div ul li { padding: 5px 0; font-size: 14px !important; font-weight: 300; font-family: Arial; } .md-content a:link, .md-content a:visited { color: #1998c6 !important; font-size:1em !important; } .archive16, .archive17, .archive18 { padding:1.5%; font-size:1em; color:#253E7C; width: 13%; display: inline-block; } .archive16 a, .archive17 a, .archive18 a { color:#253E7C !important; } .archive16 { float: left; } /* Content styles */ @media screen and (max-width: 480px) { .md-content { color: #333; background: #dddddd; background: -webkit-linear-gradient(#dddddd, #bababa); /* For Safari 5.1 to 6.0 */ background: -o-linear-gradient(#dddddd, #bababa); /* For Opera 11.1 to 12.0 */ background: -moz-linear-gradient(#dddddd, #bababa); /* For Firefox 3.6 to 15 */ background: linear-gradient(#dddddd, #bababa); /* Standard syntax */ position: relative; border-radius: 3px; margin: 0 auto; } .md-content > div { padding: 10px; margin: 0; font-weight: 300; font-size: 1.05em; } .md-content > div p { margin: 0; padding: 2px; } .md-content > div ul li { padding: 5px 0; font-size: 14px; font-weight: 300; font-family: Arial; } #cboxTopLeft, #cboxTopRight, #cboxTopCenter, #cboxMiddleLeft, #cboxMiddleRight, #cboxBottomLeft, #cboxBottomRight, #cboxBottomCenter {display:none;} #cboxContent {width:100%;} #colorbox {width:100%;} #cboxLoadedContent {width:100%;} #cboxWrapper {max-width:100%;} } </style> <div id="sb698" style="padding:10px;"> <div class="md-content"><img decoding="async" data-pyroimage="true" src="/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/2020-bills-banner.png" style="max-width:100%;" /> <div> <p><strong class="crush">Reproductive Health</strong><br /> <em>Effective Date: July 1, 2020</em><br /> <a href="http://www.flsenate.gov/Session/Bill/2020/698/BillText/er/PDF" style="color:#1998c6;" target="_blank" title="Senate Bill 698.

Additionally, the DOH may issue an emergency order suspending the practitioner’s license if he or she is found guilty of committing the felony of reproductive battery, which is discussed below.<br /> <br /> The bill also requires a health care practitioner, a medical student, or any other student who is receiving training as a health care practitioner to obtain the written consent of a patient or a patient’s representative before performing a pelvic exam. Written consent for the pelvic exam is not required if a court orders the exam to collect evidence or if the exam is necessary to avert a serious risk of irreversible impairment of a major bodily function of the patient.<br /> <br /> The bill creates the crime of reproductive battery. It is a third-degree felony for a health care practitioner to intentionally transfer human reproductive material into the body of a recipient or implant a human embryo of a donor, knowing that the recipient has not consented to the use of the reproductive material or embryo from that donor. If the health care practitioner is the donor of the reproductive material, the penalty is increased to a second-degree felony.<br /> <br /> The statute of limitations for prosecuting the crime of reproductive battery does not begin to run until the date that the violation is discovered and reported to a law enforcement agency or any other governmental agency. Additionally, it is not a defense to the crime that the recipient consented to the use of an anonymous donor.</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> <button type="button" class="pum-close popmake-close" aria-label="Close"> Close </button> </div> </div> <div id="pum-3183" class="pum pum-overlay pum-theme-215 pum-theme-default-theme popmake-overlay pum-click-to-close click_open" data-popmake="{"id":3183,"slug":"2018-bills-hb-1337","theme_id":215,"cookies":[],"triggers":[{"type":"click_open","settings":{"extra_selectors":".hb-1337"}}],"mobile_disabled":null,"tablet_disabled":null,"meta":{"display":{"stackable":false,"overlay_disabled":false,"scrollable_content":false,"disable_reposition":false,"size":"medium","responsive_min_width":"0%","responsive_min_width_unit":false,"responsive_max_width":"100%","responsive_max_width_unit":false,"custom_width":"640px","custom_width_unit":false,"custom_height":"380px","custom_height_unit":false,"custom_height_auto":false,"location":"center","position_from_trigger":false,"position_top":"100","position_left":"0","position_bottom":"0","position_right":"0","position_fixed":false,"animation_type":"fade","animation_speed":"350","animation_origin":"center top","overlay_zindex":false,"zindex":"1999999999"},"close":{"text":"","button_delay":"0","overlay_click":"1","esc_press":false,"f4_press":false},"click_open":[]}}" role="dialog" aria-modal="false" > <div id="popmake-3183" class="pum-container popmake theme-215 pum-responsive pum-responsive-medium responsive size-medium"> <div class="pum-content popmake-content" tabindex="0"> <style> body { overflow-y:scroll; overflow-x:hidden; } hr { border: 0; height: 1px !important; width:80%; background: #ccc; background-image: -webkit-linear-gradient(left, #ccc, #ccc) !important; background-image: -moz-linear-gradient(left, #ccc, #ccc) !important; background-image: -ms-linear-gradient(left, #ccc, #ccc) !important; background-image: -o-linear-gradient(left, #ccc, #ccc) !important; } .crush {color:#3c150e;} .bill-wrap { padding:4%; width:100%; margin-left:5%; } .bill-wrap h4 { font-size:1.65em; font-family:Arial; padding-bottom:4%; color:#3c150e; } .housebills { display:inline; float:left; margin:2%; width:45%; font-size:0.90em !important; line-height:2em; } .senatebills { display:inline; float:left; margin:2%; width:45%; font-size:0.90em !important; line-height:2em; } .bill-summary { background:#562c25; width:80%; font-weight:600; color:#fff; border-radius:6px; margin-top:11%; margin-left:3%; } .summarytext { font-size:1.0em !important; font-weight:400; } .md-content > div ul li { padding: 5px 0; font-size: 14px !important; font-weight: 300; font-family: Arial; } .md-content a:link, .md-content a:visited { color: #1998c6 !important; font-size:1em !important; } .archive16, .archive17 { padding:1.5%; font-size:1em; color:#253E7C; width: 13%; display: inline-block; } .archive16 a, .archive17 a { color:#253E7C !important; } .archive16 { float: left; } /* Content styles */ @media screen and (max-width: 480px) { .md-content { color: #333; background: #dddddd; background: -webkit-linear-gradient(#dddddd, #bababa); /* For Safari 5.1 to 6.0 */ background: -o-linear-gradient(#dddddd, #bababa); /* For Opera 11.1 to 12.0 */ background: -moz-linear-gradient(#dddddd, #bababa); /* For Firefox 3.6 to 15 */ background: linear-gradient(#dddddd, #bababa); /* Standard syntax */ position: relative; border-radius: 3px; margin: 0 auto; } .md-content > div { padding: 10px; margin: 0; font-weight: 300; font-size: 1.05em; } .md-content > div p { margin: 0; padding: 2px; } .md-content > div ul li { padding: 5px 0; font-size: 14px; font-weight: 300; font-family: Arial; } #cboxTopLeft, #cboxTopRight, #cboxTopCenter, #cboxMiddleLeft, #cboxMiddleRight, #cboxBottomLeft, #cboxBottomRight, #cboxBottomCenter {display:none;} #cboxContent {width:100%;} #colorbox {width:100%;} #cboxLoadedContent {width:100%;} #cboxWrapper {max-width:100%;} } </style> <div id="hb1337" style="padding:10px;"> <div class="md-content"><img decoding="async" data-pyroimage="true" src="/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/2018-bills-banner.png" style="max-width:100%;" /> <div> <p><strong class="crush">Nursing</strong><br /> <em>Effective Date: October 1, 2018</em><br /> <a href="http://www.myfloridahouse.gov/Sections/Documents/loaddoc.aspx?FileName=_h1337er.docx&DocumentType=Bill&BillNumber=1337&Session=2018" style="color:#1998c6;" target="_blank" rel="noopener">HB 1337</a> (Full Text)</p> <p><strong class="crush">Summary:</strong><br /> Amends the title of an Advanced Registered Nurse Practitioner (ARNP) to Advanced Practice Registered Nurse (APRN) and makes conforming changes throughout the Florida Statutes.

The bill also increases the penalty for violating requirements established for infants born alive in section 390.0111(12), Florida Statutes, from a first-degree misdemeanor to a third-degree felony.</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> <button type="button" class="pum-close popmake-close" aria-label="Close"> Close </button> </div> </div> <div id="pum-3253" class="pum pum-overlay pum-theme-215 pum-theme-default-theme popmake-overlay pum-click-to-close click_open" data-popmake="{"id":3253,"slug":"2020-bills-sb-226","theme_id":215,"cookies":[],"triggers":[{"type":"click_open","settings":{"extra_selectors":"#sb226"}}],"mobile_disabled":null,"tablet_disabled":null,"meta":{"display":{"stackable":false,"overlay_disabled":false,"scrollable_content":false,"disable_reposition":false,"size":"medium","responsive_min_width":"0%","responsive_min_width_unit":false,"responsive_max_width":"100%","responsive_max_width_unit":false,"custom_width":"640px","custom_width_unit":false,"custom_height":"380px","custom_height_unit":false,"custom_height_auto":false,"location":"center","position_from_trigger":false,"position_top":"100","position_left":"0","position_bottom":"0","position_right":"0","position_fixed":false,"animation_type":"fade","animation_speed":"350","animation_origin":"center top","overlay_zindex":false,"zindex":"1999999999"},"close":{"text":"","button_delay":"0","overlay_click":"1","esc_press":false,"f4_press":false},"click_open":[]}}" role="dialog" aria-modal="false" > <div id="popmake-3253" class="pum-container popmake theme-215 pum-responsive pum-responsive-medium responsive size-medium"> <div class="pum-content popmake-content" tabindex="0"> <style> body { overflow-y:scroll; overflow-x:hidden; } hr { border: 0; height: 1px !important; width:80%; background: #ccc; background-image: -webkit-linear-gradient(left, #ccc, #ccc) !important; background-image: -moz-linear-gradient(left, #ccc, #ccc) !important; background-image: -ms-linear-gradient(left, #ccc, #ccc) !important; background-image: -o-linear-gradient(left, #ccc, #ccc) !important; } .crush {color:#251313;} .bill-wrap { padding:4%; width:100%; margin-left:5%; } .bill-wrap h4 { font-size:1.65em; font-family:Arial; padding-bottom:4%; color:#251313; } .housebills { display:inline; float:left; margin:2%; width:45%; font-size:0.90em !important; line-height:2em; } .senatebills { display:inline; float:left; margin:2%; width:45%; font-size:0.90em !important; line-height:2em; } .bill-summary { background:#251313; width:80%; font-weight:600; color:#fff; border-radius:6px; margin-top:11%; margin-left:3%; } .summarytext { font-size:1.0em !important; font-weight:400; } .md-content > div ul li { padding: 5px 0; font-size: 14px !important; font-weight: 300; font-family: Arial; } .md-content a:link, .md-content a:visited { color: #1998c6 !important; font-size:1em !important; } .archive16, .archive17, .archive18 { padding:1.5%; font-size:1em; color:#253E7C; width: 13%; display: inline-block; } .archive16 a, .archive17 a, .archive18 a { color:#253E7C !important; } .archive16 { float: left; } /* Content styles */ @media screen and (max-width: 480px) { .md-content { color: #333; background: #dddddd; background: -webkit-linear-gradient(#dddddd, #bababa); /* For Safari 5.1 to 6.0 */ background: -o-linear-gradient(#dddddd, #bababa); /* For Opera 11.1 to 12.0 */ background: -moz-linear-gradient(#dddddd, #bababa); /* For Firefox 3.6 to 15 */ background: linear-gradient(#dddddd, #bababa); /* Standard syntax */ position: relative; border-radius: 3px; margin: 0 auto; } .md-content > div { padding: 10px; margin: 0; font-weight: 300; font-size: 1.05em; } .md-content > div p { margin: 0; padding: 2px; } .md-content > div ul li { padding: 5px 0; font-size: 14px; font-weight: 300; font-family: Arial; } #cboxTopLeft, #cboxTopRight, #cboxTopCenter, #cboxMiddleLeft, #cboxMiddleRight, #cboxBottomLeft, #cboxBottomRight, #cboxBottomCenter {display:none;} #cboxContent {width:100%;} #colorbox {width:100%;} #cboxLoadedContent {width:100%;} #cboxWrapper {max-width:100%;} } </style> <div id="sb226" style="padding:10px;"> <div class="md-content"><img decoding="async" data-pyroimage="true" src="/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/2020-bills-banner.png" style="max-width:100%;" /> <div> <p><strong class="crush">Athletic Trainers</strong><br /> <em>Effective Date: July 1, 2020</em><br /> <a href="http://www.flsenate.gov/Session/Bill/2020/226/BillText/er/PDF" style="color:#1998c6;" target="_blank" title="Senate Bill 226.

Opens in a new window" rel="noopener">HB 607</a> (Full Text)</p> <p><strong class="crush">Summary:</strong><br /> The Board of Nursing voted to initiate rulemaking on various aspects of HB 607 during its meetings on June 5, 2020. You can access the minutes of the full board and long-range policy planning discussions from the “meetings” link on the Board website.<br /> <br /> The registration application for autonomous APRNs will be available after it has been adopted by rule, which is anticipated to take approximately 90 days. The Board voted to approve the application and move forward with rulemaking at its June 5th meeting. The Board also voted to define “primary care practice” to include “health promotion, disease prevention, health maintenance, counselling, patient education, and diagnosis and treatment of acute and chronic illnesses in a variety of healthcare settings”. This definition will also move through the rulemaking adoption process prior to becoming effective.<br /> <br /> The Board determined that an equivalency to the required graduate level coursework required for registration would be 45 CE hours in each of the required subject areas. These hours must be offered by a Board-approved provider or a national organization empowered to accredit nursing CE. The courses must have been taken within the 5 years preceding the registration application. Submitted courses must have documentation of differential diagnosis and pharmacology in the course description and objectives.<br /> <br /> Appointments to the Council on APRN Autonomous Practice will be finalized by the end of June 2020 and then a meeting of the Council will be scheduled and announced. The Council is charged with developing “standards of practice” to recommend to the Board for adoption by rule.<br /> <br /> Additional discussions on HB 607 will take place during the Board’s August 6-7, 2020, meeting.</p> <hr /> <p>Governor DeSantis signed HB 607 into law on March 11, 2020.<br /> <br /> Separate portions of HB 607, now referred to as <a href="http://laws.flrules.org/2020/9" target="_blank" title="Chapter 2020-9. Opens in new window." rel="noopener">Chapter 2020-9, Laws of Florida</a>, impact Board of Nursing licensees. Please see below for highlights of the new legislation:<br /> <br /> <strong>Sections 12-14 – went into effect on 3/11/20</strong><br /> <br /> An authorized RN may delegate tasks to CNAs or home health aides if the RN determines that the CNA or home health aide is competent to perform these tasks, that the tasks are delegable under applicable Federal law, and the tasks meet certain criteria designated in the law. The RN is not authorized to delegate the administration of Schedule II-IV controlled substances. The Board is directed to adopt rules implementing the new law in consultation with the Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA). We anticipate the rulemaking will commence following the Board’s June 2020 meeting.<br /> <br /> Training coursework is required in order for a CNA to administer medication under an RN’s delegation. CNAs will also be required to have 2 hours of in-service training in medication administration and medical error prevention on a yearly basis.<br /> <br /> The Board, along with AHCA, will also create standards and procedures for CNAs to follow when administering medication in a home health setting.<br /> <br /> <strong>Sections 22-26 – go into effect on 7/1/20</strong><br /> <br /> APRNs will have an opportunity to register for autonomous practice, which will remove the requirement to provide patient care within the framework of an established protocol with a supervising physician or dentist. Registration eligibility requirements are established in the legislation and include: no discipline within 5 years of applying for the registration; completion of 3,000 clinical practice hours as an APRN under the supervision of physician within the 5 years immediately preceding the registration request; and, within the past 5 years, completion of graduate-level semester hours, or the equivalent, in differential diagnosis and pharmacology (3 hours in each subject). The registration application will be available after July 1, 2020.<br /> <br /> Financial responsibility requirements are established in the new law for APRN autonomous practice. Practice requirements are also in the legislation and will be interpreted by the Board during its June 2020 meeting as part of the implementation of the bill.<br /> <br /> A Council on APRN Autonomous Practice is created within the Department of Health and will recommend standards of practice to the Board.<br /> <br /> Additional continuing education (CE) requirements are put in place for autonomous practice. Ten hours of CE, approved by the Board, must be completed at each renewal in addition to completing the 30 hours of CE already in place, even if the APRN is exempt from existing CE requirements due to his or her national certification.<br /> <br /> Autonomous APRNs must also now report adverse incidents as outlined in the legislation and additional disciplinary actions are added to the Nurse Practice Act.<br /> <br /> Updates on the implementation of this law will be added to the website.</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> <button type="button" class="pum-close popmake-close" aria-label="Close"> Close </button> </div> </div> <div id="pum-3293" class="pum pum-overlay pum-theme-215 pum-theme-default-theme popmake-overlay pum-click-to-close click_open" data-popmake="{"id":3293,"slug":"2020-bills-hb-599","theme_id":215,"cookies":[],"triggers":[{"type":"click_open","settings":{"extra_selectors":"#hb599"}}],"mobile_disabled":null,"tablet_disabled":null,"meta":{"display":{"stackable":false,"overlay_disabled":false,"scrollable_content":false,"disable_reposition":false,"size":"medium","responsive_min_width":"0%","responsive_min_width_unit":false,"responsive_max_width":"100%","responsive_max_width_unit":false,"custom_width":"640px","custom_width_unit":false,"custom_height":"380px","custom_height_unit":false,"custom_height_auto":false,"location":"center","position_from_trigger":false,"position_top":"100","position_left":"0","position_bottom":"0","position_right":"0","position_fixed":false,"animation_type":"fade","animation_speed":"350","animation_origin":"center top","overlay_zindex":false,"zindex":"1999999999"},"close":{"text":"","button_delay":"0","overlay_click":"1","esc_press":false,"f4_press":false},"click_open":[]}}" role="dialog" aria-modal="false" > <div id="popmake-3293" class="pum-container popmake theme-215 pum-responsive pum-responsive-medium responsive size-medium"> <div class="pum-content popmake-content" tabindex="0"> <style> body { overflow-y:scroll; overflow-x:hidden; } hr { border: 0; height: 1px !important; width:80%; background: #ccc; background-image: -webkit-linear-gradient(left, #ccc, #ccc) !important; background-image: -moz-linear-gradient(left, #ccc, #ccc) !important; background-image: -ms-linear-gradient(left, #ccc, #ccc) !important; background-image: -o-linear-gradient(left, #ccc, #ccc) !important; } .crush {color:#251313;} .bill-wrap { padding:4%; width:100%; margin-left:5%; } .bill-wrap h4 { font-size:1.65em; font-family:Arial; padding-bottom:4%; color:#251313; } .housebills { display:inline; float:left; margin:2%; width:45%; font-size:0.90em !important; line-height:2em; } .senatebills { display:inline; float:left; margin:2%; width:45%; font-size:0.90em !important; line-height:2em; } .bill-summary { background:#251313; width:80%; font-weight:600; color:#fff; border-radius:6px; margin-top:11%; margin-left:3%; } .summarytext { font-size:1.0em !important; font-weight:400; } .md-content > div ul li { padding: 5px 0; font-size: 14px !important; font-weight: 300; font-family: Arial; } .md-content a:link, .md-content a:visited { color: #1998c6 !important; font-size:1em !important; } .archive16, .archive17, .archive18 { padding:1.5%; font-size:1em; color:#253E7C; width: 13%; display: inline-block; } .archive16 a, .archive17 a, .archive18 a { color:#253E7C !important; } .archive16 { float: left; } /* Content styles */ @media screen and (max-width: 480px) { .md-content { color: #333; background: #dddddd; background: -webkit-linear-gradient(#dddddd, #bababa); /* For Safari 5.1 to 6.0 */ background: -o-linear-gradient(#dddddd, #bababa); /* For Opera 11.1 to 12.0 */ background: -moz-linear-gradient(#dddddd, #bababa); /* For Firefox 3.6 to 15 */ background: linear-gradient(#dddddd, #bababa); /* Standard syntax */ position: relative; border-radius: 3px; margin: 0 auto; } .md-content > div { padding: 10px; margin: 0; font-weight: 300; font-size: 1.05em; } .md-content > div p { margin: 0; padding: 2px; } .md-content > div ul li { padding: 5px 0; font-size: 14px; font-weight: 300; font-family: Arial; } #cboxTopLeft, #cboxTopRight, #cboxTopCenter, #cboxMiddleLeft, #cboxMiddleRight, #cboxBottomLeft, #cboxBottomRight, #cboxBottomCenter {display:none;} #cboxContent {width:100%;} #colorbox {width:100%;} #cboxLoadedContent {width:100%;} #cboxWrapper {max-width:100%;} } </style> <div id="hb599" style="padding:10px;"> <div class="md-content"><img decoding="async" data-pyroimage="true" src="/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/2020-bills-banner.png" style="max-width:100%;" /> <div> <p><strong class="crush">Consultant Pharmacists</strong><br /> <em>Effective Date: July 1, 2020</em><br /> <a href="http://www.flsenate.gov/Session/Bill/2020/599/BillText/er/PDF" style="color:#1998c6;" target="_blank" title="House Bill 599.

Additionally, the bill repeals the requirement that DOH must obtain a monthly list from the United States Health and Human Services (USHHS) of the health care practitioners who have defaulted on their student loans.</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> <button type="button" class="pum-close popmake-close" aria-label="Close"> Close </button> </div> </div> <div id="pum-3299" class="pum pum-overlay pum-theme-215 pum-theme-default-theme popmake-overlay pum-click-to-close click_open" data-popmake="{"id":3299,"slug":"2020-bills-hb-467","theme_id":215,"cookies":[],"triggers":[{"type":"click_open","settings":{"extra_selectors":"#hb467"}}],"mobile_disabled":null,"tablet_disabled":null,"meta":{"display":{"stackable":false,"overlay_disabled":false,"scrollable_content":false,"disable_reposition":false,"size":"medium","responsive_min_width":"0%","responsive_min_width_unit":false,"responsive_max_width":"100%","responsive_max_width_unit":false,"custom_width":"640px","custom_width_unit":false,"custom_height":"380px","custom_height_unit":false,"custom_height_auto":false,"location":"center","position_from_trigger":false,"position_top":"100","position_left":"0","position_bottom":"0","position_right":"0","position_fixed":false,"animation_type":"fade","animation_speed":"350","animation_origin":"center top","overlay_zindex":false,"zindex":"1999999999"},"close":{"text":"","button_delay":"0","overlay_click":"1","esc_press":false,"f4_press":false},"click_open":[]}}" role="dialog" aria-modal="false" > <div id="popmake-3299" class="pum-container popmake theme-215 pum-responsive pum-responsive-medium responsive size-medium"> <div class="pum-content popmake-content" tabindex="0"> <style> body { overflow-y:scroll; overflow-x:hidden; } hr { border: 0; height: 1px !important; width:80%; background: #ccc; background-image: -webkit-linear-gradient(left, #ccc, #ccc) !important; background-image: -moz-linear-gradient(left, #ccc, #ccc) !important; background-image: -ms-linear-gradient(left, #ccc, #ccc) !important; background-image: -o-linear-gradient(left, #ccc, #ccc) !important; } .crush {color:#251313;} .bill-wrap { padding:4%; width:100%; margin-left:5%; } .bill-wrap h4 { font-size:1.65em; font-family:Arial; padding-bottom:4%; color:#251313; } .housebills { display:inline; float:left; margin:2%; width:45%; font-size:0.90em !important; line-height:2em; } .senatebills { display:inline; float:left; margin:2%; width:45%; font-size:0.90em !important; line-height:2em; } .bill-summary { background:#251313; width:80%; font-weight:600; color:#fff; border-radius:6px; margin-top:11%; margin-left:3%; } .summarytext { font-size:1.0em !important; font-weight:400; } .md-content > div ul li { padding: 5px 0; font-size: 14px !important; font-weight: 300; font-family: Arial; } .md-content a:link, .md-content a:visited { color: #1998c6 !important; font-size:1em !important; } .archive16, .archive17, .archive18 { padding:1.5%; font-size:1em; color:#253E7C; width: 13%; display: inline-block; } .archive16 a, .archive17 a, .archive18 a { color:#253E7C !important; } .archive16 { float: left; } /* Content styles */ @media screen and (max-width: 480px) { .md-content { color: #333; background: #dddddd; background: -webkit-linear-gradient(#dddddd, #bababa); /* For Safari 5.1 to 6.0 */ background: -o-linear-gradient(#dddddd, #bababa); /* For Opera 11.1 to 12.0 */ background: -moz-linear-gradient(#dddddd, #bababa); /* For Firefox 3.6 to 15 */ background: linear-gradient(#dddddd, #bababa); /* Standard syntax */ position: relative; border-radius: 3px; margin: 0 auto; } .md-content > div { padding: 10px; margin: 0; font-weight: 300; font-size: 1.05em; } .md-content > div p { margin: 0; padding: 2px; } .md-content > div ul li { padding: 5px 0; font-size: 14px; font-weight: 300; font-family: Arial; } #cboxTopLeft, #cboxTopRight, #cboxTopCenter, #cboxMiddleLeft, #cboxMiddleRight, #cboxBottomLeft, #cboxBottomRight, #cboxBottomCenter {display:none;} #cboxContent {width:100%;} #colorbox {width:100%;} #cboxLoadedContent {width:100%;} #cboxWrapper {max-width:100%;} } </style> <div id="hb467" style="padding:10px;"> <div class="md-content"><img decoding="async" data-pyroimage="true" src="/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/2020-bills-banner.png" style="max-width:100%;" /> <div> <p><strong class="crush">Physical Therapy Practice</strong><br /> <em>Effective Date: July 1, 2020</em><br /> <a href="http://www.flsenate.gov/Session/Bill/2020/467/BillText/er/PDF" style="color:#1998c6;" target="_blank" title="House Bill 467.

A CPPA must meet certain terms and specify the health conditions, treatments, and tests governed by the CPPA. The bill prohibits a collaborating pharmacist from modifying or discontinuing any medication that is prescribed by a health care practitioner with whom he or she does not enter into a CPPA and from initiating or prescribing a controlled substance.<br /> <br /> The bill authorizes a pharmacist, who meets certain qualifications, to test or screen for and treat minor, nonchronic health conditions within the framework of a written protocol with a supervising physician. The conditions are limited to influenza, streptococcus, lice, skin conditions, and minor, uncomplicated infections. The protocol must specify the patients that may be seen, instructions for obtaining a patient’s medical history, instructions for treatment, and a process and schedule for the pharmacist to provide patient information to the supervising physician and the supervising physician to review the pharmacist’s actions under the protocol.<br /> <br /> The bill requires the Board of Pharmacy to adopt, by rule, a formulary of medicinal drugs that an authorized pharmacist may prescribe to treat minor, non-chronic health conditions. A pharmacist may not prescribe any controlled substance; however, the Board-developed formulary may include any non-controlled substance, including those that typically need a prescription to dispense, such as antibiotics, and over-the-counter medications. The bill authorizes a pharmacist to use certain laboratory or clinical tests, as well as any established screening procedures for which no test is available.<br /> <br /> A pharmacy in which a pharmacist provides services for minor, non-chronic health conditions must prominently display a sign advising a patient receiving such services to seek follow-up care from a physician. The Board of Pharmacy shall adopt guidelines for the circumstances under which the information required under this subsection shall be provided.</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> <button type="button" class="pum-close popmake-close" aria-label="Close"> Close </button> </div> </div> <div id="pum-3292" class="pum pum-overlay pum-theme-215 pum-theme-default-theme popmake-overlay pum-click-to-close click_open" data-popmake="{"id":3292,"slug":"2019-bills-sb-354","theme_id":215,"cookies":[],"triggers":[{"type":"click_open","settings":{"extra_selectors":".sb-354"}}],"mobile_disabled":null,"tablet_disabled":null,"meta":{"display":{"stackable":false,"overlay_disabled":false,"scrollable_content":false,"disable_reposition":false,"size":"medium","responsive_min_width":"0%","responsive_min_width_unit":false,"responsive_max_width":"100%","responsive_max_width_unit":false,"custom_width":"640px","custom_width_unit":false,"custom_height":"380px","custom_height_unit":false,"custom_height_auto":false,"location":"center","position_from_trigger":false,"position_top":"100","position_left":"0","position_bottom":"0","position_right":"0","position_fixed":false,"animation_type":"fade","animation_speed":"350","animation_origin":"center top","overlay_zindex":false,"zindex":"1999999999"},"close":{"text":"","button_delay":"0","overlay_click":"1","esc_press":false,"f4_press":false},"click_open":[]}}" role="dialog" aria-modal="false" > <div id="popmake-3292" class="pum-container popmake theme-215 pum-responsive pum-responsive-medium responsive size-medium"> <div class="pum-content popmake-content" tabindex="0"> <style> body { overflow-y:scroll; overflow-x:hidden; } hr { border: 0; height: 1px !important; width:80%; background: #ccc; background-image: -webkit-linear-gradient(left, #ccc, #ccc) !important; background-image: -moz-linear-gradient(left, #ccc, #ccc) !important; background-image: -ms-linear-gradient(left, #ccc, #ccc) !important; background-image: -o-linear-gradient(left, #ccc, #ccc) !important; } .crush {color:#192630;} .bill-wrap { padding:4%; width:100%; margin-left:5%; } .bill-wrap h4 { font-size:1.65em; font-family:Arial; padding-bottom:4%; color:#192630; } .housebills { display:inline; float:left; margin:2%; width:45%; font-size:0.90em !important; line-height:2em; } .senatebills { display:inline; float:left; margin:2%; width:45%; font-size:0.90em !important; line-height:2em; } .bill-summary { background:#192630; width:80%; font-weight:600; color:#fff; border-radius:6px; margin-top:11%; margin-left:3%; } .summarytext { font-size:1.0em !important; font-weight:400; } .md-content > div ul li { padding: 5px 0; font-size: 14px !important; font-weight: 300; font-family: Arial; } .md-content a:link, .md-content a:visited { color: #1998c6 !important; font-size:1em !important; } .archive16, .archive17, .archive18 { padding:1.5%; font-size:1em; color:#253E7C; width: 13%; display: inline-block; } .archive16 a, .archive17 a, .archive18 a { color:#253E7C !important; } .archive16 { float: left; } /* Content styles */ @media screen and (max-width: 480px) { .md-content { color: #333; background: #dddddd; background: -webkit-linear-gradient(#dddddd, #bababa); /* For Safari 5.1 to 6.0 */ background: -o-linear-gradient(#dddddd, #bababa); /* For Opera 11.1 to 12.0 */ background: -moz-linear-gradient(#dddddd, #bababa); /* For Firefox 3.6 to 15 */ background: linear-gradient(#dddddd, #bababa); /* Standard syntax */ position: relative; border-radius: 3px; margin: 0 auto; } .md-content > div { padding: 10px; margin: 0; font-weight: 300; font-size: 1.05em; } .md-content > div p { margin: 0; padding: 2px; } .md-content > div ul li { padding: 5px 0; font-size: 14px; font-weight: 300; font-family: Arial; } #cboxTopLeft, #cboxTopRight, #cboxTopCenter, #cboxMiddleLeft, #cboxMiddleRight, #cboxBottomLeft, #cboxBottomRight, #cboxBottomCenter {display:none;} #cboxContent {width:100%;} #colorbox {width:100%;} #cboxLoadedContent {width:100%;} #cboxWrapper {max-width:100%;} } </style> <div id="sb354" style="padding:10px;"> <div class="md-content"><img decoding="async" data-pyroimage="true" src="/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/2019-bills-banner.png" style="max-width:100%;" /> <div> <p><strong class="crush">Immunization Registry</strong><br /> <em>Effective Date: January 1, 2021</em><br /> <a href="https://www.flsenate.gov/Session/Bill/2019/354/BillText/e1/PDF" style="color:#1998c6;" target="_blank" title="Senate Bill 354.

The bill requires such entities to provide exemptions and reasonable accommodations for religious and medical reasons.</p> <p>The bill amends several statutes in order to prohibit mask mandates, mandates on emergency use authorizations (EUA) vaccinations, messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) vaccinations, and COVID-19 vaccinations, and COVID-19 testing mandates in educational institutions, business entities, and governmental entities. The bill prohibits these entities and institutions from requiring proof of a vaccination with one of the specified types of vaccinations, post infection recovery from COVID-19, or a COVID-19 test to gain access to, entry upon, or service from the entity or institution. The bill also prohibits business and governmental entities from certain employment practices based on an employee’s, or a potential employee’s, vaccination or post infection status or the refusal to take a COVID-19 test. The bill’s provisions relating to mRNA vaccines are repealed on June 1, 2025.</p> <p>Additionally, the bill prohibits business entities, governmental entities, and educational institutions from requiring a person to wear a mask, a face shield, or any other facial covering that covers the nose and mouth or denying a person access to, entry upon, service from, or admission to such entity or institution or otherwise discriminating against any person based on his or her refusal to wear a mask, face shield, or other facial covering. The bill provides exceptions to these prohibitions for health care providers and practitioners, if the provider or practitioner meets specific requirements established by the bill, and for when a mask or facial covering is required safety equipment. Business entities and governmental entities that violate these provisions are subject to discipline by the Florida Department of Legal Affairs (DLA) while educational institutions are subject to discipline by the Florida Department of Health (DOH). Such discipline may include fines of up to $5,000 for each violation.</p> <p>The bill establishes requirements for mandating masks in health care settings. The bill requires the DOH and the Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA) to jointly develop standards for the use of facial coverings in such settings by July 1, 2023, and requires each health care provider and health care practitioner who operates or manages an office to establish policies and procedures for facial coverings by August 1, 2023, that are consistent with the standards adopted by the DOH and the AHCA if they require any individual to wear a mask.</p> <p>The bill prohibits governmental entities and educational institutions from adopting, implementing, or enforcing an international health organization guideline unless authorized by state law, rule, or executive order issued pursuant to a declared emergency.</p> <p>The bill also creates and amends several statutes related to the provision of health care for COVID-19 including:</p> <ul> <li>Prohibiting a hospital from interfering with COVID-19 treatment alternatives that are recommended by a health care practitioner with privileges at the hospital.</li> <li>Requiring a health care practitioner to obtain specified informed consent from a patient before prescribing any medication for the treatment of COVID-19 to the patient.</li> <li>Prohibiting a pharmacist from being disciplined for properly dispensing medications prescribed for the treatment of COVID-19.</li> </ul> </div> </div> </div> </div> <button type="button" class="pum-close popmake-close" aria-label="Close"> Close </button> </div> </div> <div id="pum-3249" class="pum pum-overlay pum-theme-215 pum-theme-default-theme popmake-overlay pum-click-to-close click_open" data-popmake="{"id":3249,"slug":"2023-bills-sb-264","theme_id":215,"cookies":[],"triggers":[{"type":"click_open","settings":{"cookie_name":"","extra_selectors":".SB264"}}],"mobile_disabled":null,"tablet_disabled":null,"meta":{"display":{"stackable":false,"overlay_disabled":false,"scrollable_content":false,"disable_reposition":false,"size":"medium","responsive_min_width":"0%","responsive_min_width_unit":false,"responsive_max_width":"100%","responsive_max_width_unit":false,"custom_width":"640px","custom_width_unit":false,"custom_height":"380px","custom_height_unit":false,"custom_height_auto":false,"location":"center","position_from_trigger":false,"position_top":"100","position_left":"0","position_bottom":"0","position_right":"0","position_fixed":false,"animation_type":"fade","animation_speed":"350","animation_origin":"center top","overlay_zindex":false,"zindex":"1999999999"},"close":{"text":"","button_delay":"0","overlay_click":"1","esc_press":false,"f4_press":false},"click_open":[]}}" role="dialog" aria-modal="false" > <div id="popmake-3249" class="pum-container popmake theme-215 pum-responsive pum-responsive-medium responsive size-medium"> <div class="pum-content popmake-content" tabindex="0"> <p><style> body { overflow-y:scroll;

The bill allows a nursing home to authorize a registered nurse (RN) working in the nursing home to delegate medication administration to a QMA who is working under the direct supervision of the RN. In order to be designated as a QMA, a CNA must hold a clear and active certification as a CNA for at least one year preceding the delegation; complete 40 hours of training that consists of the six hour training course currently required for a CNA to administer medication in a home health setting and a 34-hour course developed by the Florida Board of Nursing specific to QMAs; and successfully complete a supervised clinical practice in medication administration conducted in the nursing home. The bill amends several sections of law related to the delegation of tasks to CNAs to conform to the changes made in the bill. The bill also specifies that CNAs performing the duties of a QMA may not be counted toward staffing requirements for nursing homes.</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> <button type="button" class="pum-close popmake-close" aria-label="Close"> Close </button> </div> </div> <div id="pum-3212" class="pum pum-overlay pum-theme-215 pum-theme-default-theme popmake-overlay pum-click-to-close click_open" data-popmake="{"id":3212,"slug":"2023-bills-sb-676","theme_id":215,"cookies":[],"triggers":[{"type":"click_open","settings":{"cookie_name":"","extra_selectors":".SB676"}}],"mobile_disabled":null,"tablet_disabled":null,"meta":{"display":{"stackable":false,"overlay_disabled":false,"scrollable_content":false,"disable_reposition":false,"size":"medium","responsive_min_width":"0%","responsive_min_width_unit":false,"responsive_max_width":"100%","responsive_max_width_unit":false,"custom_width":"640px","custom_width_unit":false,"custom_height":"380px","custom_height_unit":false,"custom_height_auto":false,"location":"center","position_from_trigger":false,"position_top":"100","position_left":"0","position_bottom":"0","position_right":"0","position_fixed":false,"animation_type":"fade","animation_speed":"350","animation_origin":"center top","overlay_zindex":false,"zindex":"1999999999"},"close":{"text":"","button_delay":"0","overlay_click":"1","esc_press":false,"f4_press":false},"click_open":[]}}" role="dialog" aria-modal="false" > <div id="popmake-3212" class="pum-container popmake theme-215 pum-responsive pum-responsive-medium responsive size-medium"> <div class="pum-content popmake-content" tabindex="0"> <p><style> body { overflow-y:scroll; overflow-x:hidden; } hr { border: 0; height: 1px !important; width:80%; background: #ccc; background-image: -webkit-linear-gradient(left, #ccc, #ccc) !important; background-image: -moz-linear-gradient(left, #ccc, #ccc) !important; background-image: -ms-linear-gradient(left, #ccc, #ccc) !important; background-image: -o-linear-gradient(left, #ccc, #ccc) !important; } .crush {color:#253e7c;} .bill-wrap16 { padding:4%; width:100%; margin-left:5%; } .bill-wrap16 h4 { font-size:1.65em; font-family:Arial; padding-bottom:4%; color:#253e7c; } .housebills16 { display:inline; float:left; margin:2%; width:45%; font-size:0.90em !important; line-height:2em; } .senatebills16 { display:inline; float:left; margin:2%; width:45%; font-size:0.90em !important; line-height:2em; } .bill-summary16 { background:#b52f33 url(http://www.flhealthsource.gov/files/large/9f06cb8a12ca092106db98036f524de5.png) repeat no-repeat; width:80%; font-weight:600; color:#fff; border-radius:6px; margin-top:11%; margin-left:3%; } .summarytext { font-size:1.0em !important; font-weight:400; } .md-content > div ul li { padding: 5px 0; font-size: 14px !important; font-weight: 300; font-family: Arial; } .md-content a:link, .md-content a:visited { color: #1998c6 !important; font-size:1em !important; } .archive16, .archive17 { padding: 1.5%; font-size: 1em; color: #253E7C; width: 13%; display: inline-block; } /* Content styles */ @media screen and (max-width: 480px) { .md-content { color: #333; background: #dddddd; background: -webkit-linear-gradient(#dddddd, #bababa); /* For Safari 5.1 to 6.0 */ background: -o-linear-gradient(#dddddd, #bababa); /* For Opera 11.1 to 12.0 */ background: -moz-linear-gradient(#dddddd, #bababa); /* For Firefox 3.6 to 15 */ background: linear-gradient(#dddddd, #bababa); /* Standard syntax */ position: relative; border-radius: 3px; margin: 0 auto; } .md-content > div { padding: 10px; margin: 0; font-weight: 300; font-size: 1.05em; } .md-content > div p { margin: 0; padding: 2px; } .md-content > div ul li { padding: 5px 0; font-size: 14px; font-weight: 300; font-family: Arial; } #cboxTopLeft, #cboxTopRight, #cboxTopCenter, #cboxMiddleLeft, #cboxMiddleRight, #cboxBottomLeft, #cboxBottomRight, #cboxBottomCenter {display:none;} #cboxContent {width:100%;} #colorbox {width:100%;} #cboxLoadedContent {width:100%;} #cboxWrapper {max-width:100%;} } </style></p> <div id="sb676" style="padding: 10px;"> <div class="md-content"><img decoding="async" style="max-width: 100%;" src="/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/2023.06.13.-WGT-Slider-2023-Bills.png" data-pyroimage="true" /> <div> <p><strong class="crush">Level 2 Background Screening</strong><br /><em>Effective Date: July 1, 2023</em><br /><a style="color: #1998c6;" title="Senate Bill 676.

The bill allows self-referring health care providers to avoid the cost of having a physician present while health care services are provided. The change in state law also aligns with federal Stark law provisions regarding self-referrals by a health care provider to another provider in which the referring physician has a financial or other pecuniary interest.</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> <button type="button" class="pum-close popmake-close" aria-label="Close"> Close </button> </div> </div> <div id="pum-3164" class="pum pum-overlay pum-theme-215 pum-theme-default-theme popmake-overlay pum-click-to-close click_open" data-popmake="{"id":3164,"slug":"2023-bills-sb-1550","theme_id":215,"cookies":[],"triggers":[{"type":"click_open","settings":{"cookie_name":"","extra_selectors":".SB1550"}}],"mobile_disabled":null,"tablet_disabled":null,"meta":{"display":{"stackable":false,"overlay_disabled":false,"scrollable_content":false,"disable_reposition":false,"size":"medium","responsive_min_width":"0%","responsive_min_width_unit":false,"responsive_max_width":"100%","responsive_max_width_unit":false,"custom_width":"640px","custom_width_unit":false,"custom_height":"380px","custom_height_unit":false,"custom_height_auto":false,"location":"center","position_from_trigger":false,"position_top":"100","position_left":"0","position_bottom":"0","position_right":"0","position_fixed":false,"animation_type":"fade","animation_speed":"350","animation_origin":"center top","overlay_zindex":false,"zindex":"1999999999"},"close":{"text":"","button_delay":"0","overlay_click":"1","esc_press":false,"f4_press":false},"click_open":[]}}" role="dialog" aria-modal="false" > <div id="popmake-3164" class="pum-container popmake theme-215 pum-responsive pum-responsive-medium responsive size-medium"> <div class="pum-content popmake-content" tabindex="0"> <p><style> body { overflow-y:scroll; overflow-x:hidden; } hr { border: 0; height: 1px !important; width:80%; background: #ccc; background-image: -webkit-linear-gradient(left, #ccc, #ccc) !important; background-image: -moz-linear-gradient(left, #ccc, #ccc) !important; background-image: -ms-linear-gradient(left, #ccc, #ccc) !important; background-image: -o-linear-gradient(left, #ccc, #ccc) !important; } .crush {color:#253e7c;} .bill-wrap16 { padding:4%; width:100%; margin-left:5%; } .bill-wrap16 h4 { font-size:1.65em; font-family:Arial; padding-bottom:4%; color:#253e7c; } .housebills16 { display:inline; float:left; margin:2%; width:45%; font-size:0.90em !important; line-height:2em; } .senatebills16 { display:inline; float:left; margin:2%; width:45%; font-size:0.90em !important; line-height:2em; } .bill-summary16 { background:#b52f33 url(http://www.flhealthsource.gov/files/large/9f06cb8a12ca092106db98036f524de5.png) repeat no-repeat; width:80%; font-weight:600; color:#fff; border-radius:6px; margin-top:11%; margin-left:3%; } .summarytext { font-size:1.0em !important; font-weight:400; } .md-content > div ul li { padding: 5px 0; font-size: 14px !important; font-weight: 300; font-family: Arial; } .md-content a:link, .md-content a:visited { color: #1998c6 !important; font-size:1em !important; } .archive16, .archive17 { padding: 1.5%; font-size: 1em; color: #253E7C; width: 13%; display: inline-block; } /* Content styles */ @media screen and (max-width: 480px) { .md-content { color: #333; background: #dddddd; background: -webkit-linear-gradient(#dddddd, #bababa); /* For Safari 5.1 to 6.0 */ background: -o-linear-gradient(#dddddd, #bababa); /* For Opera 11.1 to 12.0 */ background: -moz-linear-gradient(#dddddd, #bababa); /* For Firefox 3.6 to 15 */ background: linear-gradient(#dddddd, #bababa); /* Standard syntax */ position: relative; border-radius: 3px; margin: 0 auto; } .md-content > div { padding: 10px; margin: 0; font-weight: 300; font-size: 1.05em; } .md-content > div p { margin: 0; padding: 2px; } .md-content > div ul li { padding: 5px 0; font-size: 14px; font-weight: 300; font-family: Arial; } #cboxTopLeft, #cboxTopRight, #cboxTopCenter, #cboxMiddleLeft, #cboxMiddleRight, #cboxBottomLeft, #cboxBottomRight, #cboxBottomCenter {display:none;} #cboxContent {width:100%;} #colorbox {width:100%;} #cboxLoadedContent {width:100%;} #cboxWrapper {max-width:100%;} } </style></p> <div id="sb1550" style="padding: 10px;"> <div class="md-content"><img decoding="async" style="max-width: 100%;" src="/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/2023.06.13.-WGT-Slider-2023-Bills.png" data-pyroimage="true" /> <div> <p><strong class="crush">Prescription Drugs </strong><br /><em>Effective Date: July 1, 2023</em><br /><a style="color: #1998c6;" title="Senate Bill 1550.

The bill provides legislative intent and provides that a health care provider or payor has the right to optout of participation in or payment for a health care service on the basis of a conscience-based objection (CBO). The bill establishes notification requirements for opting-out and prohibits a payor from opting-out of paying for a service it is contractually obligated to cover during a plan year. The bill also specifies that CBOs are limited to specific health care services, that the bill may not be construed to waive or modify any duty a provider or payor may have for other health care services that do not violate a provider’s or payor’s conscience, and that nothing in the bill allows a health care provider or payor to opt-out of providing health care services to any patient or potential patient because of that patient’s or potential patient’s race, color, religion, sex, or national origin.</p> <p>The bill prohibits health care providers from being discriminated against or suffering adverse action for declining to participate in a health care service based on a CBO. The bill also provides whistle-blower protections for providers or payors in specific situations and specifies that the bill may not be construed to override any requirement to provide emergency medical treatment in accordance with federal or state law.</p> <p>The bill allows health care providers or payors to file complaints of violations to the Attorney General (AG) and authorizes the AG to bring a civil action for appropriate relief. The bill also provides civil immunity for health care providers and payors solely for declining to participate in a health care service on the basis of a conscience-based objection, with some exceptions.</p> <p>Additionally, the bill prohibits a board, or the Florida Department of Health (DOH) if there is no board, from taking disciplinary action against a health care practitioner solely because he or she has spoken or written publicly about a health care service or public policy, including on a social media platform, as long as the speech or written communication does not provide advice or treatment to a specific patient or patients and does not separately violate any other applicable law or rule. The bill also authorizes a board within the DOH to revoke approval of any specialty board for revoking the certification of an individual for the same reason.</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> <button
