HB 693 eliminates the provision that a licensee of DBPR who changes from inactive to active status during license renewal is ineligible to return to inactive status until the licensee completes a licensure cycle on active status. This will allow a licensee to change licensure status at any time during the next license renewal cycle. HB 693 by Representative Ingram passed favorably out of Business & Consumer Affairs with 13 votes and will be heard next in Economic Affairs Committee.
