Who is the head of The Department, appointed by the governor, confirmed by the Senate, with no term limit?

• A. Secretary of Business & Professional Regulation
• B. Attorney General
• C. Director of the Division
• D. Secretary of the Department of Health

Answer: (A)

In Florida, the heads of state departments who are appointed by the governor and confirmed by the Senate typically serve without a fixed term. This setup means they can stay in office until they resign or are replaced, rather than having a set term length.

The head of the Department of Business and Professional Regulation fits this pattern. The Secretary of that department is appointed by the governor and must be confirmed by the Senate, and there is no statutory term limit for the position. The Attorney General is elected rather than appointed by the governor, so that option doesn’t match the described process. The Director of a Division is a leadership role within a department, not the head of the department itself. While the head of the Department of Health also follows the governor-appointment and Senate-confirmation process with no term limit, the question points to the Secretary of the Department of Business and Professional Regulation as the department head described.
