AI Summary
This bill seeks to further regulate emergency or non-emergent medical transport services operated by not-for-profit acute care hospital systems or providers licensed under Chapter 111 of the General Laws. It requires such hospital systems or providers to comply with certain existing laws, including Chapter 111C, Chapter 154 of the Acts of 2003, and Chapter 54 of the Acts of 2000. Additionally, if a not-for-profit hospital system or provider is awarded a 911 contract by a municipality, it must contribute a minimum of 33% of its gross ambulance receipts towards the cost of the municipality's fire-based service and pay at least 50% of the cost to operate the Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) to support 911 dispatching services. The Department of Public Health is required to promulgate regulations to administer these provisions within 30 days of the bill's enactment.
