The bill establishes a new section in Florida law, specifically section 395.1013, which mandates the use of smoke evacuation systems in hospitals and ambulatory surgical centers during certain surgical procedures that are likely to generate surgical smoke. The bill defines "smoke evacuation system" as equipment that captures, filters, and eliminates surgical smoke at its source, and "surgical smoke" as the gaseous byproduct produced by energy-generating devices used in surgeries.

By January 1, 2026, all licensed facilities are required to adopt and implement policies that enforce the use of these smoke evacuation systems. The bill is set to take effect on July 1, 2025.
