AI Summary
This bill aims to improve the outcomes for sudden cardiac arrest in the Commonwealth. It does this by requiring all 911 telecommunicators who provide dispatch for emergency medical conditions to be trained in high-quality Telephone-CPR using the most current nationally recognized emergency cardiovascular care guidelines. The bill also requires the commission to establish a procedure for monitoring adherence by telecommunicators and their governing bodies to these requirements, and allows for adjusting state grant or shared revenue amounts based on failure to comply. Additionally, the bill mandates that the Department of Public Health include sudden cardiac arrest as a reportable disease.
