HB 1935 -- Surgical Technologists

Sponsor:  May

This bill specifies that "surgical technology" means
intraoperative care that involves preparing the operating room
for surgical procedures including the equipment and supplies and
assisting in surgical procedures.  No person may practice
surgical technology in a health care facility unless he or she
meets the established guidelines and specific educational
requirements as well as annually completing 15 hours of
continuing education.  A health care facility employing a
surgical technologist must verify that the individual has met the
continuing education requirement and that he or she competently
performs tasks during surgery according to its health care
policies and the provisions of the bill.
