The bill amends section 464.015 of the Florida Statutes to authorize licensed nurses who hold a doctoral degree to use specific titles and abbreviations, namely "Doctor of Nursing Practice" (D.N.P.) and "Doctor of Philosophy" (Ph.D.), in a manner consistent with their qualifications. Additionally, it establishes a restriction that these nurses cannot use the title "doctor" in clinical settings without clearly indicating their profession, ensuring transparency in their role to patients and colleagues.

The bill also includes a reorganization of the existing statute, redesignating the current subsection (10) as subsection (11) and adding the new provisions as subsection (10). The effective date for this legislation is set for July 1, 2026.
