HB 1887 requires hospitals, ambulatory surgical facilities, and outpatient surgical centers in Oklahoma to implement policies mandating the use of smoke evacuation systems during surgical procedures that generate surgical smoke (like from lasers or scalpels). These systems must capture and filter smoke at its source before it reaches medical staff or patients. The law takes effect November 1, 2025, directly affecting healthcare employers who perform smoke-producing surgeries. It defines "surgical smoke" as gaseous by-products from energy-generating surgical tools.
