H 3795 Massachusetts House · 193rd Legislature (2023-2024)

An Act relative to 911 emergency communicators

This bill amends Massachusetts law to officially include 911 emergency telecommunicators in the state's Heart Law, which provides free emergency medical services. The change directly affects the 911 dispatchers who operate call centers and coordinate emergency responses across the Commonwealth. By adding this specific group to the statute, the legislation ensures they are covered under the same protections as other first responders. The bill does not alter how 911 services are funded or operated, but rather clarifies the legal status of the personnel who manage them.
