Florida Board Adopts Uniform MPJE Exam Effective June 1, 2026
Summary
The Florida Board of Pharmacy amended Rule 64B16-26.200, Florida Administrative Code, formally adopting the Uniform MPJE (UMPJE) examination. The rule was filed April 23, 2026, and becomes effective June 1, 2026, replacing the prior MPJE format with the new Uniform version for pharmacist licensure candidates in Florida. Pharmacists seeking initial licensure or licensure by endorsement in Florida must pass the UMPJE upon its effective date.
“Rule 64B16-26.200, Florida Administrative Code, was amended by the Board of Pharmacy and becomes effective, June 1, 2026.”
Pharmacy licensure candidates who have been preparing for the existing MPJE format should confirm with the Florida Board of Pharmacy whether examination content or question style has changed under the UMPJE, as the Uniform version may require updated study materials. State Boards of Pharmacy in other jurisdictions that have not yet transitioned to the UMPJE should monitor Florida's implementation experience for operational lessons, including candidate pass-rate trends and administration logistics during the transition period.

What changed
Rule 64B16-26.200, Florida Administrative Code, was amended to adopt the Uniform MPJE (UMPJE) examination in place of the existing MPJE format. The amendment was filed by the Florida Board of Pharmacy on April 23, 2026, and takes effect June 1, 2026, establishing the UMPJE as the sole state-administered pharmacy law examination for Florida licensure purposes.
Pharmacy licensure candidates in Florida—including those pursuing initial licensure and endorsement applicants from other states—must pass the UMPJE rather than the prior MPJE once the rule takes effect. Candidate preparation programs, pharmacy schools, and Board-approved examination sponsors should align curriculum and candidate advisement materials to reflect the new examination format and content scope of the UMPJE.
