An Act amending Title 35 (Health and Safety) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in emergency medical services system, further providing for injured police animals.
This bill requires emergency dispatch centers in Pennsylvania to maintain updated lists of veterinary clinics, hospital emergency departments, and similar facilities capable of treating injured police animals. The primary goal is to ensure that when a law enforcement animal is hurt, dispatchers have the necessary contact information to arrange for its timely transport and medical care. By mandating these records be kept accurate, the legislation aims to streamline the response process for injured service animals without changing existing laws about their care or compensation.
