       The Committee on Criminal Justice (Smith) recommended the
       following:
       
    1         Senate Amendment (with title amendment)

    3         Delete lines 118 - 120
    4  and insert:
    5         Section 2. Subsection (6) of section 456.036, Florida
    6  Statutes, is amended to read:
    7         456.036 Licenses; active and inactive status; delinquency.—
    8         (6)(a) Except as provided in paragraph (b), a delinquent
    9  licensee must affirmatively apply with a complete application,
   10  as defined by rule of the board, or the department if there is
   11  no board, for active or inactive status during the licensure
   12  cycle in which a licensee becomes delinquent. Failure by a
   13  delinquent licensee to become active or inactive before the
   14  expiration of the current licensure cycle renders the license
   15  null without any further action by the board or the department.
   16  Any subsequent licensure shall be as a result of applying for
   17  and meeting all requirements imposed on an applicant for new
   18  licensure.
   19         (b) A delinquent licensee whose license becomes delinquent
   20  before the final resolution of a case under s. 456.0635(3) must
   21  affirmatively apply by submitting a complete application, as
   22  defined by rule of the board, or the department if there is no
   23  board, for active or inactive status during the licensure cycle
   24  in which the case achieves final resolution by order of the
   25  court. Failure by a delinquent licensee to become active or
   26  inactive before the expiration of that licensure cycle renders
   27  the license null without any further action by the board or the
   28  department. Any subsequent licensure shall be as a result of
   29  applying for and meeting all requirements imposed on an
   30  applicant for new licensure.

   35  and insert:
   36         practitioner; providing an exception; amending s.
   37         456.036, F.S.; requiring a delinquent licensee whose
   38         license becomes delinquent before the final resolution
   39         of a case regarding Medicaid fraud to affirmatively
   40         apply by submitting a complete application for active
   41         or inactive status during the licensure cycle in which
   42         the case achieves final resolution by order of the
   43         court; providing that failure by a delinquent licensee
   44         to become active or inactive before the expiration of
   45         that licensure cycle renders the license null;
   46         requiring that any subsequent licensure be as a result
   47         of applying for and meeting all requirements imposed
   48         on an applicant for new licensure; providing an
   49         effective
