AN ACT CONCERNING EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES RESPONSE PROTOCOLS.

SB 1160 establishes new protocols for emergency medical services (EMS) in Connecticut. It requires EMS personnel to follow standardized oxygen administration, wear body cameras during patient interactions, and complete training that prioritizes direct patient care over tasks like insurance verification. These rules directly affect EMS providers and aim to improve patient safety while increasing transparency in care delivery. The bill focuses on concrete operational changes rather than funding or broader policy shifts.
