Bill > SB199

This bill enacts new legislation (R.S. 37:1293) to establish physician practice standards in medical spas. It defines key terms such as "medical spa", "cosmetic medical procedure", and "supervision", and sets forth minimum responsibilities for the medical director, supervising physician, and non-physician providers at a medical spa. The bill requires the Louisiana State Board of Medical Examiners to promulgate rules to implement these provisions, and it limits the scope of practice for non-physician providers. Overall, the bill aims to ensure patient safety by mandating physician oversight and appropriate training for those performing cosmetic medical procedures at medical spas.
