New Florida Law Requires Fingerprinting for License Renewal

If you are a health care professional in Florida, a new law could impact your next license renewal. House Bill 975, passed during the 2024 Legislative Session, requires most health care practitioners to complete electronic fingerprinting as part of the background screening process.

Starting July 1, 2025, failing to comply with this new requirement could delay your renewal or even cause your license to expire. โš ๏ธ

๐Ÿ“‹ What the New Law Means for Health Care Practitioners
The Florida Department of Healthโ€™s Division of Medical Quality Assurance now requires electronic fingerprinting for:

  • ๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€โš•๏ธ Health care practitioners renewing their licenses
  • ๐Ÿ– Practitioners who have never previously been fingerprinted
  • ๐Ÿ’Š Prescription department managers or consultants (unless fingerprints are already valid)

Exemptions:

  • ๐Ÿš‘ Emergency medical technicians (EMTs)
  • ๐Ÿฉบ Paramedics
  • ๐Ÿ’Š Pharmacy interns
  • ๐Ÿ’ผ Registered pharmacy technicians
  • ๐Ÿงฒ Radiologic technicians
    (Exemptions do not apply to military active-duty spouse applicants.)
