HEALTH CARE: Provides relative to emergency medical services. (gov sig) (EN NO IMPACT See Note)
SB 296 is a technical amendment that makes minor wording changes to existing emergency medical services laws without altering their substance or impact. The bill inserts specific phrases into two sections of the code to clarify references to introductory paragraphs, ensuring the text aligns with current legal standards. This procedural update affects only the written language of the statute and does not introduce new policies or change how emergency services are funded or regulated. As a result, the bill has no practical effect on healthcare providers, patients, or government agencies.
