Requires certain persons to complete training relating to elderly persons and persons with cognitive impairments. (BDR 40-1086)
SB 329 requires ambulance attendants, firefighters, emergency medical technicians (EMTs), paramedics, and peace officers to complete training on identifying and interacting with people experiencing dementia or other cognitive impairments. New applicants must finish this training before receiving their license or certification, and current license holders must provide proof of completion by October 1, 2026. The bill clarifies that completing this training does not change the legal standard of care or increase the duty of these first responders. This policy aims to improve emergency response interactions with vulnerable individuals, particularly elderly people or those with cognitive challenges.
