  491  fees and fee caps. Such recommendations shall be compiled by the
  492  Department of Health and be included in the annual report to the
  493  Legislature required by s. 456.026 as well as be included in the
  494  long-range policy plan required by s. 456.005.
  495         (2)(3) Each board within the jurisdiction of the
  496  department, or the department when there is no board, shall
  497  determine by rule the amount of license fees for the profession
  498  it regulates, based upon long-range estimates prepared by the
  499  department of the revenue required to implement laws relating to
  500  the regulation of professions by the department and the board.
  501  Each board, or the department if there is no board, shall ensure
  502  that license fees are adequate to cover all anticipated costs
  503  and to maintain a reasonable cash balance, as determined by rule
  504  of the agency, with advice of the applicable board. If

  515  subsections (1) and (4) are met, a profession may operate at a
  516  deficit until the deficit is eliminated The department may
  517  provide by rule for advancing sufficient funds to any profession
  518  operating with a negative cash balance. The advancement may be
  519  for a period not to exceed 2 consecutive years, and the

  522  fund used by the department to implement this chapter. Interest

  524  with the allocation of investment earnings during the period of
  525  the advance.
  526         (6)(7) Each board, or the department if there is no board,

  530  of up to not to exceed $250 for the renewal of an approval to
  531  provide providership of such courses. The fees collected from
  532  continuing education providers shall be used for the purposes of
  533  reviewing course provider applications, monitoring the integrity
  534  of the courses provided, covering legal expenses incurred as a
  535  result of not granting or renewing an approval a providership,
  536  and developing and maintaining an electronic continuing
  537  education tracking system pursuant to s. 456.0361. The
  538  department shall implement an electronic continuing education
  539  tracking system for each new biennial renewal cycle for which
  540  electronic renewals are implemented after the effective date of
  541  this act and shall integrate such system into the licensure and
  542  renewal system. All approved continuing education providers
  543  shall provide information on course attendance to the department
  544  necessary to implement the electronic tracking system. The
  545  department shall, by rule, specify the form and procedures by
  546  which the information is to be submitted.
  547         (7)(8) All moneys collected by the department from fees or
  548  fines or from costs awarded to the agency by a court shall be
  549  paid into a trust fund used by the department to implement this
  550  chapter. The Legislature shall appropriate funds from this trust
  551  fund sufficient to administer carry out this chapter and the
  552  provisions of law with respect to professions regulated by the
  553  Division of Medical Quality Assurance within the department and
  554  the boards. The department may contract with public and private
  555  entities to receive and deposit revenue pursuant to this
  556  section. The department shall maintain separate accounts in the
  557  trust fund used by the department to implement this chapter for
  558  every profession within the department. To the maximum extent
  559  possible, the department shall directly charge all expenses to
  560  the account of each regulated profession. For the purpose of
  561  this subsection, direct charge expenses include, but are not
  562  limited to, costs for investigations, examinations, and legal
  563  services. For expenses that cannot be charged directly, the
  564  department shall provide for the proportionate allocation among
  565  the accounts of expenses incurred by the department in the
  566  performance of its duties with respect to each regulated
  567  profession. If a profession has established renewal fees that
  568  meet the requirements of subsection (1), has fees that are at
  569  the statutory fee cap, and has been operating in a deficit for 2
  570  or more fiscal years, the department may waive allocated
  571  administrative and operational indirect costs until such time as
  572  the profession has a positive cash balance. The costs related to
  573  administration and operations include, but are not limited to,
  574  the costs of the director’s office and the costs of system
  575  support, communications, central records, and other such
  576  administrative functions. Such waived costs shall be allocated
  577  to the other professions that must meet the requirements of this
  578  section, and cash in the unlicensed activity account under s.
  579  456.065 of the profession whose costs have been waived shall be
  580  transferred to the operating account in an amount not to exceed
  581  the amount of the deficit. The regulation by the department of
  582  professions, as defined in this chapter, must shall be financed
  583  solely from revenue collected by the department it from fees and
  584  other charges and deposited in the Medical Quality Assurance
  585  Trust Fund, and all such revenue is hereby appropriated to the
  586  department, which. However, it is legislative intent that each
  587  profession shall operate within its anticipated fees. The
  588  department may not expend funds from the account of a profession
  589  to pay for the expenses incurred on behalf of another
  590  profession, except that the Board of Nursing must pay for any
  591  costs incurred in the regulation of certified nursing
  592  assistants. The department shall maintain adequate records to
  593  support its allocation of agency expenses. The department shall
  594  provide any board with reasonable access to these records upon
  595  request. On or before October 1 of each year, the department
  596  shall provide each board an annual report of revenue and direct
  597  and allocated expenses related to the operation of that
  598  profession. The board shall use these reports and the
  599  department’s adopted long-range plan to determine the amount of
  600  license fees. A condensed version of this information, with the
  601  department’s recommendations, shall be included in the annual
  602  report to the Legislature prepared under s. 456.026.
  603         Section 10. Section 456.0361, Florida Statutes, is created
  604  to read:

  612  tracking system shall be integrated into the department’s
  613  licensure and renewal process.
  614         (2) The department may not renew a license until the
  615  licensee complies with all applicable continuing education
  616  requirements. This subsection does not prohibit the department
  617  or the boards from imposing additional penalties under the
  618  applicable professional practice act or applicable rules for
  619  failure to comply with continuing education requirements.
  620         (3) The department may adopt rules to implement this
  621  section.

  714         Section 14. Paragraph (e) of subsection (4) of section
  715  458.347, Florida Statutes, is amended to read:
  716         458.347 Physician assistants.—
  717         (4) PERFORMANCE OF PHYSICIAN ASSISTANTS.—
  718         (e) A supervisory physician may delegate to a fully
  719  licensed physician assistant the authority to prescribe or
  720  dispense any medication used in the supervisory physician’s
  721  practice unless such medication is listed on the formulary
  722  created pursuant to paragraph (f). A fully licensed physician
  723  assistant may only prescribe or dispense such medication under
  724  the following circumstances:
  725         1. A physician assistant must clearly identify to the
  726  patient that he or she is a physician assistant and.
  727  Furthermore, the physician assistant must inform the patient
  728  that the patient has the right to see the physician before a
  729  prior to any prescription is being prescribed or dispensed by
  730  the physician assistant.
  731         2. The supervisory physician must notify the department of
  732  his or her intent to delegate, on a department-approved form,
  733  before delegating such authority and notify the department of
  734  any change in prescriptive privileges of the physician
  735  assistant. Authority to dispense may be delegated only by a
  736  supervising physician who is registered as a dispensing
  737  practitioner in compliance with s. 465.0276.
  738         3. The physician assistant must complete file with the
  739  department a signed affidavit that he or she has completed a
  740  minimum of 10 continuing medical education hours in the
  741  specialty practice in which the physician assistant has
  742  prescriptive privileges with each licensure renewal application.
  743         4. The department may issue a prescriber number to the
  744  physician assistant granting authority for the prescribing of
  745  medicinal drugs authorized within this paragraph upon completion
  746  of the foregoing requirements of this paragraph. The physician
  747  assistant is shall not be required to independently register
  748  pursuant to s. 465.0276.
  749         5. The prescription must be written in a form that complies
  750  with chapter 499 and, in addition to the supervisory physician’s
  751  name, address, and telephone number, must contain, in addition
  752  to the supervisory physician’s name, address, and telephone
  753  number, the physician assistant’s prescriber number. Unless it
  754  is a drug or drug sample dispensed by the physician assistant,
  755  the prescription must be filled in a pharmacy permitted under
  756  chapter 465 and must be dispensed in that pharmacy by a
  757  pharmacist licensed under chapter 465. The inclusion appearance
