For the purposes of sections 66 to 73, inclusive and any rules or regulations promulgated pursuant thereto, “invasive surgical procedures” shall be defined as any procedures which structurally alter the human body by the incision or destruction or cutting of tissues. Invasive surgical procedures also include the diagnostic or therapeutic treatment of conditions or disease processes by any instruments causing localized alteration or transposition of live human tissue, or surgically implanted artificial prosthetics, which include lasers, ultrasound, ionizing radiation, scalpels, probes, and needles. The tissue can be cut, injected, burned, vaporized, frozen, sutured, probed, or manipulated by closed reductions for major dislocations or fractures, or otherwise altered by mechanical, thermal, light-based, electromagnetic, chemical means, or other means.  Invasive surgical procedures do not include the use of an epinephrine auto-injector to counteract anaphylaxis.

SECTION 2. Nothing in this act shall be construed to restrict, limit or expand the current scope of practice authorized under Chapter 112 and in effect upon passage of this act, of any profession licensed under Chapter 112.
