Grace period
It is unlawful to practice with a delinquent license; UNCONFIRMED: exact delinquent-renewal/reactivation timeline and fees for optometry not confirmed from official sources.
Reporting
CE is tracked in CE Broker (the Department of Health's electronic tracking system, powered by CEBroker); MQA automatically reviews CE records at renewal. The free CE Broker basic account suffices for compliance.

Official source: Florida Statutes §463.007; Rule 64B13-5.001
