An Act relative to defining invasive surgical procedures
This bill defines "invasive surgical procedures" in Massachusetts law for Chapter 112 regulations. It specifies these include any procedures structurally altering the body through incisions, tissue destruction, or surgical implants (using tools like lasers, scalpels, or needles), but explicitly excludes epinephrine auto-injectors for anaphylaxis. The definition applies to existing rules and regulations under Chapter 112. The bill clarifies the term without changing current professional scopes of practice for licensed healthcare providers.
