Specifies the settings in which an ultrasound or similar medical imaging device procedure may be offered
This bill specifies where ultrasound or similar medical imaging procedures can legally be performed, applying to all healthcare facilities and providers offering such services. It requires these procedures to occur only in licensed clinics, outpatient settings meeting specific anesthesia standards, hospitals or health facilities, or practices of licensed professionals like doctors, chiropractors, or physical therapists. Violations carry civil penalties of $2,500 for a first offense and $5,000 for subsequent offenses, enforced by attorneys general or district attorneys. The law aims to standardize settings for patient safety while explicitly excluding licensed midwives under certain conditions.
