    5         Section 1. Paragraph (t) of subsection (1) of section
    6  456.072, Florida Statutes, is amended, and subsection (2) of
    7  that section is republished, to read:
    8         456.072 Grounds for discipline; penalties; enforcement.—
    9         (1) The following acts shall constitute grounds for which
   10  the disciplinary actions specified in subsection (2) may be
   11  taken:
   12         (t) Failing to identify the name of a health care
   13  practitioner through written notice, which may include the
   14  wearing of a name tag or embroidered identification that also
   15  includes the professional, or orally to a patient the type of
   16  license and professional degree issued to the practitioner. If
   17  wearing a name tag is not feasible, the practitioner must
   18  provide written notice of such information under which the
   19  practitioner is practicing. Any advertisement for health care
   20  services naming the practitioner must identify the professional
   21  type of license and professional degree the practitioner holds
   22  and may not contain deceptive or misleading information,
   23  including, but not limited to, any affirmative communication or
   24  representation that misstates, falsely describes, holds out, or
   25  falsely details the health care practitioner’s skills, training,
   26  expertise, education, public or private board certification, or
   27  licensure. This paragraph does not apply to a practitioner while
   28  the practitioner is providing services in a facility licensed
   29  under chapter 394, chapter 395, chapter 400, or chapter 429.
   30  Each board, or The department shall where there is no board, is
   31  authorized by rule to determine how health care its
   32  practitioners must may comply with this disclosure requirement.

   39         disciplinary action against health care practitioners;
   40         requiring the Department of Health, rather than each
   41         applicable board, to adopt rules for certain
   42         requirements related to identification and advertising
   43         of practitioner licensure and qualifications;
