AI Summary
This bill requires the State Department of Public Health to update existing regulations concerning cardiac surgery by January 1, 2030, to align with current professional standards of care for extracorporeal bypass surgery, which is a type of heart surgery that uses a machine to temporarily take over the function of the heart and lungs. Currently, regulations specify that a minimum of three surgeons must form a surgical team for procedures requiring extracorporeal bypass, and this bill aims to ensure this requirement reflects the most up-to-date medical practices.
