Plain-language change summary

The amendment adds the phrase "of the general statutes" for clarity after "chapter 370" and "chapter 377" in subsection (b), which specifies that the surgical operations must be performed by licensed professionals under those chapters. This change ensures that the references to licensing are clearly mapped to the applicable statutes, enhancing the precision of the legal text.
