What’s in it

This bill allows a physician and surgeon or osteopathic physician and surgeon to staff a medical care ambulance service or nontransport service if the physician and surgeon or osteopathic physician and surgeon can document equivalency through education and additional skills training essential in the delivery of out-of-hospital emergency care. The bill requires that the medical director of the relevant service program reviews and approves documentation in accordance with rules adopted by the board of medicine in consultation with the department of health and human services (HHS).

Read the full explanation

The bill also requires the service program to receive authorization from HHS. The bill adds physicians staffing an authorized service program to the definition of “first responder” for the purposes of the opioid antagonist medication fund and the newborn safe haven Act.
