Safety Design Standards for Office Surgery Suites

Summary

The bill would have the Florida Building Commission and the State Fire Marshal adopt design standards for physician office surgery suites that can treat up to six out‑patients simultaneously, including patients under anesthesia or otherwise unable to protect themselves. It defines an “office surgery suite” as the portion of a doctor’s office where surgery is performed and makes the standards an alternative to existing ambulatory health‑care occupancy rules. The measure died in the Senate Health Policy Committee.
