The bill defines surgical technology as surgical patient care that involves preparing the sterile field, equipment, and supplies for surgery, and performing various tasks during surgery, including handling equipment and supplies and irrigating and sponging an operative site. Under the bill, a hospital or ambulatory surgery center may not employ a person to perform surgical technology unless the person is certified by the National Board of Surgical Technology and Surgical Assisting; has completed training in surgical technology while serving in the U.S. armed forces or the federal public health service; is employed to perform surgical technology on the effective date of this bill; or is a licensed nurse, physician, or physician assistant or is otherwise accredited by the Department of Regulation and Licensing to perform surgical technology. The bill also requires those persons who qualify on the basis of certification by the National Board of Surgical Technology and Surgical Assisting to complete continuing education relating to surgical technology.
