The bill establishes a new section, 395.1075, in the Florida Statutes, which outlines the requirements for central service technicians employed by licensed hospitals and ambulatory surgical centers. It defines "central service technician" and "health care practitioner," and mandates that these technicians must meet specific criteria to be employed. This includes successfully passing a nationally accredited exam and obtaining certain credentials, such as a certified registered central service technician credential or a certified sterile processing and distribution technician credential, within 18 months of hire if they do not already possess them. Additionally, technicians are required to complete at least 10 hours of continuing education annually related to their functions.

The bill also stipulates that hospitals and surgical centers must verify a technician's employment dates upon request. Exemptions are provided for health care practitioners acting within their scope, students or interns under supervision, and individuals with relevant credentials from accredited organizations. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025.
