Committee backs technical fix to continuing-education rule for podiatrists
Summary
The subcommittee reported favorably a PCS to HB 567 that removes a two-hour controlled-substances CE requirement for podiatrists who are not registered with the DEA, allowing better alignment of continuing education with practice.
Representative Cheney presented a PCS to HB 567 to remove a two‑hour continuing-education requirement on controlled substances for podiatrists who are not registered with the DEA, while preserving the overall 40-hour CE requirement. Chris Hansen of the Florida Podiatric Medical Association and other stakeholders testified in support, calling the change a narrow fix to a drafting issue and stressing continued patient safety protections.
There was no debate following testimony and the committee adopted the PCS and voted 16-0 to report the bill favorably.
