Plain-English Summary

Florida SB688 would have re-created licensing and regulation for naturopathic doctors in Florida and allowed naturopathic services by telehealth. It did not appear to give naturopathic doctors general prescription-drug authority, and because the Governor vetoed it, it does not change peptide access now.

Key Points

Do not treat this as new Florida naturopathic prescribing authority.
Peptide prescriptions still need a clinician already authorized to prescribe them.
The proposed naturopathic telehealth authority did not become law.
No clear change to 503A or 503B compounded peptide rules from the available summary.
No clear controlled-substance or PDMP change from the available summary.

What to Watch For

Note The veto means there is no current legal change from SB688 for peptide patients or clinicians.

✓

Opportunity A future version could expand licensed naturopathic telehealth visits in Florida.

Concern If refiled, check whether prescription authority stays limited or expands into legend drugs.

Note Separate FDA and Florida pharmacy rules still control compounded peptide availability.

Where the Bill Stands

The bill passed the Legislature but was vetoed by the Governor on June 26, 2026, so it did not become law.
