A. The Legislature hereby finds that:
1. There is, in addition to cosmetic reasons, a growing need for medical micropigmentation in the treatment of clinical conditions or traumas such as cancer, surgery, and burns;
2. Medical micropigmentation is being performed in Oklahoma; and
3. Oklahoma law does not provide sufficient regulation of medical micropigmentation to assure the protection of the public.
Therefore, there is a need to provide legislation to enable the appropriate entities to regulate persons performing medical micropigmentation on the citizens of this state.
B. Sections 1 through 9 of this act shall be known and may be cited as the “Oklahoma Medical Micropigmentation Regulation Act”.
Added by Laws 2001, c. 384, § 1, emerg. eff. June 4, 2001.
