This bill appropriates funds from various accounts to the Department of State for the Bureau of Professional and Occupational Affairs for the fiscal year from July 1, 2025, to June 30, 2026. Specifically, it allocates $73,093,000 from the Professional Licensure Augmentation Account for the Bureau's operations. Additionally, it designates funds from restricted receipts accounts for specific boards: $10,191,000 for the State Board of Medicine, $2,553,000 for the State Board of Osteopathic Medicine, $474,000 for the State Board of Podiatry, and $1,396,000 from the Athletic Commission Augmentation Account for the State Athletic Commission.

The bill clarifies that the appropriations for the State Boards and the Athletic Commission will not be considered augmentations to the Department of State or any general government appropriations, but will be treated as separate appropriations. This ensures that the funds are accounted for distinctly, maintaining transparency and proper allocation for each board's operations. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, or immediately, whichever is later.
