...Chapter 458 governs the practice of medicine in the state. The Legislature created the Board of Medicine to regulate physicians. See § 458.307, Fla. Stat. (2002). It conferred rulemaking authority on the Board "to implement the provisions of this chapter conferring duties upon it." See § 458.309(1), Fla. Stat. (2002). However, in section 458.303(2), the Legislature limited the Board's rulemaking function as follows: ... Nothing in ... s. 458.309 or s....
...of Cosmetic Surgery, 808 So.2d at 253 (citation omitted). Appellant contends that the Board's rule exceeded its authority because the provisions contained in section 458.303 limit the Board's rulemaking authority as provided in section 458.331. The Board cited sections 458.309(1) and 458.331(1)(v) as specific authority for adopting the rule....
...These principles require that the grant of rulemaking authority contained in section 458.331(1)(v) be construed together with section 458.303. Otherwise, specific legislative directives could be eliminated through the Board's exercise of its rulemaking authority. By specific reference in section 458.303(2) to both section 458.309 containing the general grant of rulemaking authority, and section 458.331, the Legislature has circumscribed the Board's rulemaking authority....
...These standards provide notice to the physicians in those practice settings as to what acts constitute practice beyond the scope permitted by law. However, section 458.303(2) specifically limits the reach of section 458.331. Pursuant to 458.303(2), the grant of rulemaking authority under section 458.309 and section 458.331 cannot be "construed to prohibit any service rendered by a registered nurse or a licensed practical nurse, if such service is rendered under the direct supervision and control of a licensed physician who provides s...

...care in Florida concerning a surgeon’s pre-opera-tive and post-operative care responsibilities in the proposed rule, in order to put physicians on notice of, and to remind them of, that existing standard of care. Noting the rulemaking authority of section 458.309, Florida Statutes, he found that the weight of the evidence did not show the proposed rule to be inconsistent with existing law, including sections 458.331(l)(t) and (w), 2 or that the rule was not necessary to carry out the Board’s...
