The bill amends section 944.801 of the Florida Statutes to enhance educational opportunities for inmates in correctional facilities by requiring the Correctional Education Program to develop a plan in collaboration with the relevant professional boards within the Department of Business and Professional Regulation. This plan aims to allow inmates to take classes that will count towards the credit needed for licensure requirements in various licensed professions.

Specifically, the new legal language mandates that the Correctional Education Program design and implement this plan to ensure that inmates who successfully complete the necessary curriculum requirements for their respective professions receive appropriate credit. The bill is set to take effect on July 1, 2025.
