S 6537 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Relates to requiring 911 operators to ask callers for the approximate height and weight of the patient

This bill requires 911 operators in New York State to ask callers for a patient's approximate height and weight during emergency calls that need fire or medical response, when practical. It applies to all 911 operators and fire/emergency dispatchers who receive such calls. The operator must relay this information to the responding emergency team, or if the call is transferred before obtaining it, the dispatcher must request it. The policy aims to provide responders with specific patient details to better prepare for medical situations.
