CURRENT BILL SUMMARY
SB 1000 - This act requires each hospital and ambulatory surgical center that performs procedures that produce surgical smoke plume, on or before January 1, 2024, to adopt and implement policies and procedures to ensure the evacuation of surgical smoke plume by use of a surgical smoke plume evacuation system for each procedure that generates surgical smoke plume from the use of energy-based devices, including, but not limited to, electrosurgery and lasers.
This act is substantially similar to HB 1711 (2022).
