Bill > S1572

This bill establishes a certification process for individuals who are not licensed doctors (referred to as "non-physicians") to perform laser tattoo removal, which is defined as removing tattoo ink using laser technology. The Board of Medical Examiners, the state agency responsible for overseeing medical professionals, will set the requirements for this certification. These requirements will include defining the necessary qualifications for non-physicians to provide tattoo removal services, developing or approving a test to assess their knowledge and skills, and mandating continuing education to maintain their certification. Crucially, before offering laser tattoo removal services, any non-physician must obtain this certification, which will need to be renewed every two years. The bill also directs the board to create the necessary rules and regulations to implement these changes, with the goal of ensuring safe and qualified individuals are performing these procedures.
