AI Summary
This bill aims to modernize emergency medical services (EMS) oversight in Massachusetts. It makes several changes, including: 1) requiring the state's regional EMS councils to submit annual plans outlining their efforts to meet their responsibilities, which the Department of Public Health can then use to update regional council contracts; 2) establishing an Emergency Medical Services System Executive Council to coordinate the EMS system and provide advice on its development; 3) mandating the Department of Public Health to make information about the complaint resolution process for EMS personnel available online; and 4) requiring the Department to study and recommend potential permanent funding sources to support the Office of Emergency Medical Services, the regional councils, and central medical emergency direction centers.
