The bill amends section 464.015 of the Florida Statutes to clarify the use of professional nursing titles and abbreviations. It introduces a new subsection (10) that stipulates that only individuals who hold a valid license in Florida or a multistate license to practice professional nursing are permitted to use specific titles such as Doctor of Nursing Practice (D.N.P.) and Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.). Additionally, it mandates that those with doctoral degrees must specify their profession when using the term "doctor."

The bill also redesignates the existing subsection (10) as subsection (11) and establishes an effective date of July 1, 2026, for these changes. This legislation aims to ensure that the use of professional titles in nursing is regulated and that the qualifications of individuals using these titles are clearly communicated.
