The committee header changed from the House Committee on Public and Community Health to the House Committee on Rules, indicating a shift in legislative oversight.

A new requirement for 'inspection procedures' was added to the list of rules the board must establish for clinics.

A provision to provide for a criminal penalty was added to the bill's stated purposes.

The ownership requirement for existing clinics was updated to require owners to meet competency standards including advanced airway management training.

Clinic ownership rules were changed to allow Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists (CRNAs) to own clinics jointly with physicians, whereas the previous version required clinics to be wholly or majority owned by physicians.

The deadline for the board to establish rules and regulations was extended from December 31, 2025, to December 31, 2026.

The mandatory start date for clinic licensing was delayed from July 1, 2026, to July 1, 2027.

Clinic ownership rules were updated to permit joint ownership with certified registered nurse anesthetists if the clinic is not wholly owned by physicians, and an exemption was added for clinics already operating when the act becomes effective.

The list of personnel required to be present during treatment was updated to include 'anesthesiologist assistant' alongside anesthesiologists and nurse anesthetists.
