relative to Alzheimer's disease and other related dementia training for first responders.

SB 202 requires first responders (including police, EMTs, and firefighters) to complete specialized training on recognizing and safely interacting with individuals experiencing Alzheimer's disease or related dementia during emergency calls. The bill mandates training covering communication techniques, de-escalation strategies, and safety protocols to improve responses to dementia-related incidents. This policy directly affects first responders and people living with dementia who may interact with emergency services. The law became effective September 13, 2025, after being signed by the governor on July 15, 2025.
