Update: Texas Surgical Smoke Evacuation Bills
Posted 8 days ago
We have two bills filed in the Texas Legislature!!
The Texas Legislature officially goes into session on January 14, 2025.
I am delighted to inform you that our surgical smoke evacuation bills have already been filed.
Representative Ann Johnson is sponsoring HB 513.
Senator Borris Miles is sponsoring SB 490.
The Texas Collaboration of periOperative Registered Nurses (TCORN) is honored to have many of our nurses participating in Perioperative Nurse Day at the Capitol in Austin on Wednesday, December 4, 2024, to talk to over thirty legislators' offices encouraging the passage of these bills.
Please stay informed and encourage your facilities to utilize smoke evacuation equipment to keep us all safe.
Happy Holidays to all!
