The bill includes
General Fund appropriations of $57,490 in fiscal year 2025-26 and $59,709 in

|
Allowing health
care providers licensed in another state to provide telehealth services to a
patient in the State under certain conditions may result in a loss of revenue
to boards within and affiliated with the Department of Professional and
Financial Regulation impacted by this legislation due to a reduction in
licensing and other fees. The impact
can not be estimated at this time. |
