       Appropriations Subcommittee on Health and Human Services (Bean)
       recommended the following:
       
    1         Senate Amendment (with title amendment)
    2  
    3         Between lines 96 and 97
    4  insert:
    5         Section 2. Paragraphs (a) and (b) of subsection (1) of
    6  section 458.317, Florida Statutes, are amended to read:
    7         458.317 Limited licenses.—
    8         (1)(a) Any person desiring to obtain a limited license
    9  shall:
   10         1. Submit to the board, with an application and fee not to
   11  exceed $300, and demonstrate an affidavit stating that he or she
   12  has been licensed to practice medicine in any jurisdiction in
   13  the United States for at least 10 years and intends to practice
   14  only pursuant to the restrictions of a limited license granted
   15  pursuant to this section. However, a physician who is not fully
   16  retired in all jurisdictions may use a limited license only for
   17  noncompensated practice. If the person applying for a limited
   18  license submits a notarized statement from the employing agency
   19  or institution stating that he or she will not receive
   20  compensation for any service involving the practice of medicine,
   21  the application fee and all licensure fees shall be waived.
   22  However, any person who receives a waiver of fees for a limited
   23  license shall pay such fees if the person receives compensation
   24  for the practice of medicine.
   25         2. Meet the requirements in s. 458.311(1)(b)-(g) and (5).
   26  If the applicant graduated from medical school prior to 1946,
   27  the board or its appropriate committee may accept military
   28  medical training or medical experience as a substitute for the
   29  approved 1-year residency requirement in s. 458.311(1)(f).
   30         (b) After approval of an application under this section, no
   31  license shall be issued until the applicant provides to the
   32  board an affidavit that there have been no substantial changes
   33  in status since initial application.
   34  
   35  Nothing herein limits in any way any policy by the board,
   36  otherwise authorized by law, to grant licenses to physicians
   37  duly licensed in other states under conditions less restrictive
   38  than the requirements of this section. Notwithstanding the other
   39  provisions of this section, the board may refuse to authorize a
   40  physician otherwise qualified to practice in the employ of any
   41  agency or institution otherwise qualified if the agency or
   42  institution has caused or permitted violations of the provisions
   43  of this chapter which it knew or should have known were
   44  occurring.

   51         patients; amending s. 458.317, F.S.; revising
   52         qualifications necessary to obtain a limited license
   53         to practice medicine; providing an effective date.
