FL H0959

Amends section 402.7306 of Florida Statutes to include mental health and substance abuse service providers under administrative, licensure, and programmatic monitoring requirements alongside child welfare service providers.

Limits monitoring of accredited mental health and substance abuse service providers to once every 3 years if accredited by the Joint Commission, Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities, or Council on Accreditation of Children and Family Services.

Exempts federal certification and precertification reviews from the 3-year monitoring limitation to ensure federal compliance.

Requires state agencies, managing entities, and contracted monitoring agents to adopt policies allowing private sector development of an Internet-based data warehouse for service providers to maintain and submit corporate, fiscal, and administrative records within 10 business days of request.

Permits agencies to continue monitoring for payment verification, complaint investigation, client safety issues, and compliance with laws and regulations that do not duplicate accrediting organization reviews.
