Starting June 15, pain management clinics in the county must receive a license in order to stay open, according to the report. The ordinance will work in conjunction with Florida State Senate Bill 2272, which places tougher restrictions on controlled substances, scheduled to take effect Oct. 1.
Hillsborough County is the fourth region in Florida to place tougher restrictions on pain management clinics in recent months. Port St. Lucie, Lake Work and Delray Beach and Stuart have also enacted stronger regulations and/or moratoriums on pain management clinics this year.
