Section 456.074, Florida Statutes, grants PSU authority to demand the immediate halt of activities believed to pose an imminent threat to the public. These mandates, known as Emergency Orders, bear the signature of the State Surgeon General. Emergency Restriction Orders set boundaries on a suspect practitioner's professional activities, while Emergency Suspension Orders temporarily deactivate the practitioner's license as specified in the order. During Quarter Two, PSU issued 56 Emergency Orders, marking a 11.8% decrease from the first quarter of the fiscal year. Among these, 48% constituted Emergency Restriction Orders (27), while 52% comprised Emergency Suspension Orders (29).
