Modifies provisions relating to ambulance districts
What changed between versions
A new definition for 'community paramedic services' was added, specifying that these are non-emergent services provided by entities employing certified community paramedics under approved protocols.
New eligibility criteria were established for individuals seeking certification as community paramedics, requiring current paramedic licensure and completion of a specific certification program.
Requirements were added for ambulance services providing community paramedic services outside their primary area, mandating memorandums of understanding or notification to local services to avoid duplication.
The original text proposing the repeal of sections 190.050, 190.051, 190.052, 190.070, and 190.090 and the enactment of new sections governing ambulance district elections and director terms was removed.
