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, including passing a nationally accredited exam and obtaining certain certifications. Those who do not meet these criteria must acquire the necessary certification within 18 months of their hire date to maintain their employment. Additionally, the bill requires central service technicians to complete at least 10 hours of continuing education annually related to their functions.

The legislation also includes provisions for licensed facilities to verify a technician's employment dates upon request and outlines exemptions 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, 2026.
