Advocacy News - Assembly passes Surgical Smoke Bill

Yesterday, the New York State Assembly passed A9974-Gottfried, which requires general hospitals and ambulatory surgery facilities to adopt and implement policies to prevent exposure to surgical smoke.  Our joint position statement supporting this bill to protect the health of OR staff is attached. 

Next, the Senate bill will go to the Rules Committee. When it does, we will ask you to contact key legislators. 

Thank you for your continued support of this important legislation.
