The bill establishes new continuing education requirements for health care practitioners in Florida, specifically focusing on maternal mental health. It creates a new section, 456.63, in the Florida Statutes, which mandates that the required continuing education hours for licensure renewal must include training on best practices for screening maternal mental health disorders, understanding the range of these disorders, exploring evidence-based treatment options, and knowing when to consult a psychiatrist.

Additionally, the bill requires that a board or the Department of Health periodically update the curriculum to reflect new research and accept the successful completion of this curriculum as credit toward continuing education requirements for practitioners in relevant specialties, including pediatrics, obstetrics and gynecology, psychiatry, and clinical psychology. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2026.
