Special PCCLB Information Regarding HB 735

Due to the state of Florida's approval of HB 735 and HB 1383, many county licenses in Florida now have been eliminated. We are aware that NOT ALL county licenses have been affected and those with active licenses in certain classifications still need to complete their continuing education and can still do so with PacePDH.com.
