Do we have any members that live in the "Sunshine State"? One of my friends lives in the Tampa area and I asked her to play detective. As you all know - this has been in the newpapers down there alot - thank you to buymeds, tropical, etc! She read a bunch of stuff and from what she found out - it is exactly as Prevention Magazine presented it - it is a Medical Board RECOMMENDATION - NOT A LAW.
Most docs will honor the recommendation of their board because they do not want to be disciplined or go thru any professional misconduct proceedings. However, they are NOT bound by any law at this time.
It's probably on it's way to becoming law - but that takes time. It has to go thru several levels of debate, committees and government before the governor signs it into law or vetos it. Knowing Brother Jeb - he'll sign it. I wouldn't worry about it right now - the ops in Florida are making way too much money and that law - if it ever comes - is sometime in the future!
