The 2020 legislative session eliminated the requirement that a health care practitioner’s license must be suspended if they defaulted on a student loan guaranteed by the state or federal government. This provision was removed by HB 713 (2020)/HB 115 (2020) and was implemented by MQA, effective July 1, 2020. Table 14: Student Loan Defaults MQA is required to evaluate revenues, expenditures, and cash balances for the previous fiscal year, as mandated by section 456.026(1), Florida Statutes.
