Bill > H1288

This bill seeks to define "invasive surgical procedures" in the context of Sections 66 to 73 of Chapter 112 of the General Laws. The definition includes any procedure that structurally alters the human body through incision, destruction, or cutting of tissues, as well as diagnostic or therapeutic treatments that involve instruments causing localized alteration or transposition of live human tissue. The bill clarifies that the use of an epinephrine auto-injector to counteract anaphylaxis is not considered an invasive surgical procedure. Additionally, the bill explicitly states that it does not restrict, limit, or expand the current scope of practice authorized under Chapter 112 for any profession licensed under that chapter.
