MODERATE
The bill was significantly simplified from a comprehensive home health services reform bill into a focused, single-purpose bill about nurse registry disclaimers. The original version covered multiple statutes and topics including fee schedules, inspections, and commission prohibitions, while the new version only addresses one specific requirement for nurse registries to display a disclaimer about independent contractor status.
Scope change
The bill's scope was dramatically narrowed from regulating multiple aspects of home health services to focusing exclusively on nurse registry website and marketing disclaimer requirements.
REQUIREMENT

Removed requirements for standardized disclosures, fee schedules, inspections, complaint procedures, and adverse incident reporting that were in the original version.

Removed provisions about nurse registries being prohibited from using certain terms like 'home health' or 'agency' in business names and marketing materials.

Removed amendments to multiple Florida Statutes sections (400.509, 408.803, 817.505) that covered inspections, low-risk provider definitions, and commission prohibitions.

Changed the disclaimer requirement from requiring disclosures at intake and annually with specific formatting to simply requiring a clear and conspicuous disclaimer on websites and marketing materials.

Narrowed the disclaimer text from a multi-point disclosure about insurance, contacts, and risks to a single statement about independent contractor status.

Changed the effective date from unspecified to July 1, 2026.
