This bill amends section 455.2124 of the Florida Statutes regarding the proration of or exemption from continuing education requirements. The key change is the insertion of language specifying that the exemption from continuing education requirements does not apply to veterinarians regulated under chapter 474. This means that veterinarians will now be required to meet the continuing education requirements that may be exempt for other professions.

The bill clarifies that the continuing education exemption previously applicable to certain professions, such as engineers, certified public accountants, and various types of regulated professionals, will not extend to veterinarians. The effective date for this change is set for July 1, 2025.
