Florida's Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR) Secretary, Melanie S. Griffin, has expressed support for Governor Ron DeSantis' fiscal year 2025-2026 budget recommendations. The proposed budget aims to streamline professional licensure processes and reduce bureaucratic challenges faced by businesses and professionals in the state.
Governor DeSantis' budget plan is focused on improving the department’s business operations while making key investments to enhance the licensing experience. "Governor DeSantis has continuously empowered state agencies to eliminate bureaucracy, making it easier and faster for Floridians to get licensed and get to work," said DBPR Secretary Melanie S. Griffin.
The initiative is part of a broader vision by Governor DeSantis to create a more business-friendly environment in Florida. The proposed changes are intended to increase efficiency in licensing services, which would benefit Florida's expanding number of businesses and professionals.
"The Focus on Fiscal Responsibility Budget creates efficiencies that maximize licensing services to best serve Florida’s growing number of businesses and professionals – an ultimate win for them, their families, and Florida’s economy," added Secretary Griffin.
