The bill establishes a new requirement for hospitals and ambulatory surgical centers in Florida to implement smoke evacuation systems during surgical procedures that are likely to generate surgical smoke. It defines "smoke evacuation system" as equipment that captures, filters, and eliminates surgical smoke at the source, and "surgical smoke" as the gaseous byproduct produced by energy-generating devices used in surgeries. The bill mandates that these facilities adopt and implement policies for the use of smoke evacuation systems by January 1, 2027.

Additionally, the bill creates a new section in the Florida Statutes, specifically section 395.1013, which outlines these definitions and requirements. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2026.
