The bill was expanded from a single new statute to include two new statutes and amendments to existing ones. It now covers both health care practitioners and other licensees, adds penalties and administrative fines for non-compliance, and clarifies the definition of when charges are tendered for reimbursement.
Scope change
The bill now applies to a broader range of licensees beyond just health care practitioners and adds provisions for administrative fines and disciplinary actions for violations.

Added administrative fines under s. 408.813 for failure to refund patient overpayments.
Amended s. 456.072 to include failure to comply with the overpayment refund statute as grounds for disciplinary action.
DEFINITION
Defined the term 'tenders charges for reimbursement' to clarify when a claim is filed for government or private insurance purposes.
TIMELINE
Changed the effective date from 'upon becoming law' to January 1, 2026.
