408, Part II, Florida Statutes
With the enactment of 2006-192,
Laws of Florida (House Bill 7141), changes in health care facility licensing
will begin in Florida on October 1, 2006.
From the providers’ perspective, these changes involve biennial licensure,
renewal reminder notices, uniformity in time frames associated with applications
and less variation in basic licensure processes between provider types.
From the Agency’s perspective, these changes involve streamlined processes
among provider types and greater use of automation and consistency across the
30 types of providers regulated by the Agency.
Regulated providers received a notice
from the Agency in September 2006 including key changes effective October 1,
2006.
