Modifies provisions relating to community paramedic services

HB 1979 defines "community paramedic services" as non-emergency care provided by certified paramedics outside 911 systems, following approved protocols. It establishes certification requirements: paramedics must hold current paramedic licenses, complete department-approved training programs, and submit applications. The bill also requires ambulance services providing these services outside their primary area to coordinate with local providers through written agreements and notify other services about community paramedic activities. This directly affects paramedics, ambulance services, and medical directors overseeing these non-emergency care programs.
