Establishes a Parkinson's Disease Registry in Florida to collect and maintain patient data for research.

The bill mandates the Florida Department of Health to contract with the Consortium for Parkinson’s Disease Research to establish and maintain a Parkinson’s Disease Registry. This registry will collect data from physicians diagnosing or treating Parkinson’s disease, including patient demographics, diagnosis, stage of disease, medical history, and treatment methods. Physicians must report this data to the registry starting January 1, 2027. Patients have the option to opt out of the registry, in which case only deidentified information can be submitted.
