Under which branch of the Governor is the DBPR operating?

The Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR) operates under the Executive Branch of the Governor in Florida. The Executive Branch is responsible for implementing and enforcing the laws of the state, and the DBPR plays a critical role within this structure by regulating professions and businesses. This includes overseeing licensing, compliance, and enforcement for various sectors such as real estate, construction, and other industries.

The structure of state government is designed so that the Executive Branch carries out laws and manages the state’s agencies, which is precisely what the DBPR does. It ensures that professionals adhere to the standards set by state laws and regulations. This regulatory framework is essential for maintaining order and protecting public interest in various professions. Understanding this arrangement helps clarify how decisions made by the DBPR are influenced by the policies set by the Governor and the Executive Branch as a whole.
