The bill amends section 465.1865 of the Florida Statutes to revise the definition of "chronic health condition" specifically for collaborative pharmacy practice. The new language clarifies that the term excludes certain heart conditions, specifically heart failure, coronary heart disease, and cardiac rhythm disorders. This change aims to refine the scope of conditions that pharmacists can collaboratively manage under this practice.

The effective date for this amendment is set for July 1, 2025. By excluding these heart conditions from the definition, the bill seeks to delineate the responsibilities and focus areas for pharmacists in managing chronic health conditions, ensuring that collaborative practices are aligned with the specific health needs of patients.
