Plain English Summary
AI-GENERATED
Exempts non-prescribing podiatrists from the controlled-substance CE requirement.
Narrows an existing continuing education rule for podiatric physicians so the mandatory 2 hours on safely prescribing controlled substances only applies to those registered with the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration and authorized to prescribe controlled substances.
Podiatric physicians without DEA registration no longer need that specific 2-hour module to renew their license, though the board can still require up to 40 hours of continuing education overall.
