The bill amends the Public Health Code by adding a new section, 21224, which establishes the hyperbaric oxygen therapy inspection fund within the state treasury. This fund will be financed through licensing fees collected from freestanding hyperbaric oxygen therapy facilities. The state treasurer is responsible for depositing these fees into the fund, managing its investments, and crediting any interest or earnings back to the fund.

Additionally, the Department of Health will serve as the administrator of the fund and is tasked with conducting audits. The funds will be allocated specifically for the purpose of inspecting freestanding hyperbaric oxygen therapy facilities, ensuring compliance with health regulations. The enactment of this bill is contingent upon the passage of three other specified bills from the 103rd Legislature.
