OH HB377

Amends Ohio law governing physician delegation of light-based medical device procedures for hair removal, creating a new "laser hair removal professional" designation for individuals who either held a cosmetic therapist license as of April 11, 2021, or completed 750 hours of cosmetic therapy training plus passed the certified laser hair removal professional examination

Allows advanced practice registered nurses and physician assistants to delegate and supervise laser hair removal procedures performed by nurses or laser hair removal professionals, subject to the same requirements as physicians

Establishes supervision limits of no more than five nurses or laser hair removal professionals simultaneously per supervising physician, with off-site supervision permitted for established patients when the professional has completed at least 50 hours of approved training (30 hours clinical)

Creates a new 40-hour training pathway for nurses to qualify for off-site supervision, which may combine didactic instruction, hands-on training, and procedure performance

Removes prior requirements that physicians personally evaluate patients before and after initial treatments when delegating to laser hair removal professionals, shifting these evaluation duties to new subsections with similar requirements
