Department of Health rule relating to emergency medical services

SB 268 authorizes the West Virginia Department of Health to implement a rule (64 CSR 48) that sets standards for emergency medical services. This rule, developed and revised after addressing legislative committee feedback, will govern how ambulance services, paramedics, and emergency medical personnel operate. The rule directly affects emergency medical service providers by establishing their required practices and safety protocols. The bill itself does not change the rule's content but formally approves its adoption as a binding regulation.
