The bill amends section 455.2124 of the Florida Statutes to clarify that the exemption from continuing education requirements does not apply to veterinarians. Specifically, it adds language to indicate that veterinarians regulated under chapter 474 are included in the list of professionals who are not exempt from these requirements. This change ensures that veterinarians must continue to meet educational standards, similar to other regulated professions such as engineers, accountants, and architects.

The effective date for this amendment is set for July 1, 2025. This timeline allows for the necessary adjustments to be made within the regulatory framework governing continuing education for veterinarians in Florida.
