    4  insert:
    5         Section 2. Subsections (1) and (6) of section 459.0075,
    6  Florida Statutes, are amended to read:
    7         459.0075 Limited licenses.—
    8         (1) Any person desiring to obtain a limited license shall:
    9         (a) Submit to the board a licensure application and fee
   10  required by this chapter. However, an osteopathic physician who
   11  is not fully retired in all jurisdictions may use a limited
   12  license only for noncompensated practice. If the person applying
   13  for a limited license submits a notarized statement from the
   14  employing agency or institution stating that she or he will not
   15  receive monetary compensation for any service involving the
   16  practice of osteopathic medicine, the application fee and all
   17  licensure fees shall be waived. However, any person who receives
   18  a waiver of fees for a limited license shall pay such fees if
   19  the person receives compensation for the practice of osteopathic
   20  medicine.
   21         (b) Submit proof an affidavit that such osteopathic
   22  physician has been licensed to practice osteopathic medicine in
   23  any jurisdiction in the United States in good standing and
   24  pursuant to law for at least 10 years.
   25         (c) Complete an amount of continuing education established
   26  by the board.
   27         (d) Within 60 days after receipt of an application for a
   28  limited license, the board shall review the application and
   29  issue the limited license or notify the applicant of denial.
   30         (6) Any person desiring a limited license shall meet all
   31  the requirements of s. 459.0055, except s. 459.0055(1)(d).
