Nonemergency transport; prohibit ambulance services from exercising exclusivity contracts that prevent patient choice during.

SB 2824 would have prohibited ambulance services from entering exclusivity contracts that force patients to use a single provider for nonemergency transport, specifically banning hospital contracts requiring patients to go only to one facility. It would have required patients or their families to decide which ambulance provider handles county-to-county or county-to-state transfers during nonemergency situations. The bill died in committee on February 4, 2025, and never became law.
