Relating to an exemption from boiler registration and inspection requirements for certain boilers in medical equipment and autoclaves.

SB 1185 exempts certain medical boilers used in FDA-regulated equipment (like hospital autoclaves) from Texas boiler registration and inspection requirements. It applies specifically to boilers meeting strict size and pressure limits: max 16-inch diameter, 20 square feet heating surface (or electric), 5 cubic feet volume, and 100 psi pressure. This directly affects medical facilities and equipment manufacturers using qualifying devices. The exemption became effective September 1, 2025, after the bill was signed into law.
