The bill establishes a new section in the Florida Statutes, specifically section 395.1013, which mandates the use of smoke evacuation systems in hospitals and ambulatory surgical centers during certain surgical procedures. It defines key terms such as "smoke evacuation system," which refers to equipment that captures and filters surgical smoke before it can affect individuals in the operating room, and "surgical smoke," which is 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 ensure the use of smoke evacuation systems during any surgical procedure likely to generate surgical smoke. The bill is set to take effect on July 1, 2025.
