Bill Summary
CONCERNING THE APPROPRIATE USE OF KETAMINE UPON A PERSON IN A PREHOSPITAL SETTING, AND, IN CONNECTION THEREWITH, MAKING AN APPROPRIATION.
AI Summary
This bill establishes new regulations and requirements for the use of ketamine by emergency medical service providers in prehospital settings when a peace officer is present. It defines a "justifiable medical emergency" as an underlying medical, traumatic, or psychiatric condition posing an immediate safety risk, and prohibits the use of ketamine to subdue, sedate, or chemically incapacitate an individual for alleged or suspected criminal, delinquent, or suspicious conduct. The bill also places restrictions on peace officers' ability to use, direct, or unduly influence the use of ketamine, and requires reporting and intervention in such cases. Additionally, the bill requires the Department of Public Health and Environment to submit an annual report on the statewide use of ketamine and any resulting complications.
