Bill > S1728

This bill, titled the "Medical Spa Prescription Drug Oversight Act," establishes new regulations for medical spas in Florida that prepare, handle, store, administer, dispense, distribute, or otherwise use prescription medications. It mandates that these medical spas obtain a license from the Board of Pharmacy, which will maintain a public database of licensed facilities and their responsible persons. The bill defines key terms like "medical spa" (a facility offering cosmetic or lifestyle treatments that uses prescription drugs) and "adverse event" (an unexpected medical occurrence related to prescription medication use). Licensed medical spas will be considered dispensers and must acquire prescription medications only from authorized sources, ensuring proper storage and security controls to prevent theft or diversion. Each medical spa must designate a "responsible person," a licensed healthcare provider with supervising authority, who is present enough to ensure compliance. Applying for a license signifies consent for inspections, and failure to comply with any provisions can lead to disciplinary actions, including fines or license revocation. Medical spas are required to report serious adverse events to the Board of Pharmacy within five business days. Misrepresenting prescription medications will be considered an unfair and deceptive trade practice. The Board of Pharmacy is tasked with enforcing these provisions, investigating violations, and maintaining a public record of disciplinary actions. The Board must adopt rules to implement this act within six months of its effective date, which is July 1, 2026.
