HB 313 Missouri House · 2025 Regular Session

Modifies provisions relating to the state advisory council on emergency medical services

HB 313 modifies the structure of Missouri's State Advisory Council on Emergency Medical Services (EMS). It reduces the minimum council size to 13 members and revises appointment rules: the health department director appoints most members based on recommendations from EMS-related professional associations (e.g., ambulance services, paramedics, fire chiefs, hospitals), while requiring specific representation like one mobile integrated health care expert. The bill also establishes a standing subcommittee to monitor Missouri’s participation in the EMS licensure interstate compact and requires the council to advise state leaders on improving EMS policies. This is a procedural change to council composition and operations, not a new service or funding measure.
