Medical Occupations - As enacted, enacts the "Tennessee K-9 Emergency Medical Care and Transport Act." - Amends TCA Title 39, Chapter 14, Part 2; Title 44, Chapter 17; Title 63, Chapter 12 and Title 68, Chapter 140.

HB 1694, the "Tennessee K-9 Emergency Medical Care and Transport Act," allows emergency medical personnel (like EMTs) to provide emergency care and transport to injured police, military, or search-and-rescue dogs (called "canine first responders") during their duties. The bill requires EMTs to complete specific training and operate under the oversight of a licensed veterinarian designated as an "emergency veterinary medicine service director," and permits transport only when no human patient requires immediate care. It also provides legal immunity to EMTs acting in good faith to provide such care or transport, protecting them from civil or criminal liability. This law directly affects injured working dogs and emergency medical personnel who serve law enforcement, military, or search-and-rescue teams.
