This bill appropriates funds from the Professional Licensure Augmentation Account and various restricted receipts accounts within the General Fund to the Department of State for the Bureau of Professional and Occupational Affairs. Specifically, it allocates a total of $72,812,000 for the Bureau's operations for the fiscal year from July 1, 2025, to June 30, 2026. Additionally, it designates specific amounts for the operations of the State Board of Medicine ($11,025,000), the State Board of Osteopathic Medicine ($3,204,000), the State Board of Podiatry ($454,000), and the State Athletic Commission ($997,000), ensuring that these appropriations are treated as separate and not as augmentations to the Department of State.

The bill emphasizes that each appropriation is to be accounted for individually, reinforcing the independence of the funding for each board and commission. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, or immediately, depending on which date comes later.
