This bill establishes a new section, 1004.0982, in the Florida Statutes, which mandates standardized admissions tests for medical institutions of higher education. The bill defines "medical institution of higher education" as a state university that offers degrees in health care-related fields and receives state funding. It specifies that these institutions must require a standardized admissions test that assesses knowledge and critical thinking skills relevant to science and medical training for prospective students.

The effective date for this legislation is set for July 1, 2025. The introduction of this requirement aims to ensure that candidates for medical education possess the necessary foundational knowledge and skills to succeed in their training and future careers in healthcare.
