Parkinson's Disease Registry

Extended liability immunity for providing registry data from physicians to include advanced practice registered nurses.

Reporting requirements now apply to patients diagnosed with or treated for atypical parkinsonism in addition to Parkinson's disease.

The performance measures collected by the registry were updated to include metrics for atypical parkinsonism.

Advanced practice registered nurses are now required to report data to the registry, whereas only physicians were previously included.

The registry operator was changed from a contracted private entity to the Institute for Parkinson's Disease within the University of South Florida.

A new requirement was added for the institute to create and maintain a specific website for the registry.

The effective date for reporting requirements was advanced from July 1, 2026, to January 1, 2027.

The bill title was updated to reflect the new sections created (464.0124) and the expanded scope of the act.

Created new statutes 458.352 and 459.075 to explicitly mandate that physicians report Parkinson's disease performance measures to the registry.

Changed the effective date for reporting requirements from July 1, 2026, to January 1, 2027.
