Florida PPEC Glossary

Florida uses 'PPEC' — the Texas 'PPECC' abbreviation does not apply here. PPEC is licensed under Chapter 400, Part VI, Florida Statutes; the operational rule is FAC Chapter 59A-13.

Florida PPEC Terminology
Florida statute and rule use 'PPEC' (Prescribed Pediatric Extended Care). Do not import 'PPECC' from Texas — it is not a defined term in Florida law. Citations and AHCA correspondence must use 'PPEC'.

Each child must have a physician prescription and remain under physician care while attending. Children may not attend more than 12 hours in any 24-hour period (FS 400.902, 400.914).
