An Act relative to emergency medical services oversight
HD 1773 requires regional EMS councils to submit annual plans by May 30 that include trauma care guidelines, communication strategies with the state department, and alignment with the statewide EMS plan. It establishes a peer advisory committee of EMS professionals to advise on complaint resolution and discipline, and mandates the department to study permanent funding sources for EMS services with a 2025 report. The bill also updates complaint procedures to require the department to investigate all complaints against EMS providers and notify complainants of outcomes. These changes aim to improve coordination, accountability, and funding stability in Massachusetts' emergency medical services system.
