Bill > H0959

This bill amends Florida Statutes to clarify the definition of a "clinic" and to establish penalties for clinics that employ physicians whose licenses have been suspended or revoked. Specifically, the bill refines the definition of a clinic to include entities that provide health care services and receive payment for them, while also detailing numerous exemptions for various types of healthcare facilities and organizations. Crucially, it adds a provision that makes a clinic subject to administrative and criminal penalties if it employs or employed a physician whose license was suspended or revoked during their employment with the clinic, holding the clinic responsible for ensuring its practitioners maintain active and unencumbered licenses.
