OH SB226

Amends Ohio Revised Code section 4731.33 and creates new section 4731.331 to regulate delegation of laser hair removal procedures using FDA-cleared light-based medical devices

Creates formal "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 instruction and 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

Increases physician supervision limit from two to five laser hair removal professionals or nurses simultaneously, and establishes 40-hour training requirements for nurses and 50-hour training requirements for laser hair removal professionals seeking off-site supervision eligibility

Removes prior requirements for physician evaluation of patients before initial treatment and after initial application; shifts these evaluation requirements to apply only when delegating to laser hair removal professionals rather than physician assistants or nurses
