Bill Summary
Providing for the care and transportation of police dogs injured in the line of duty
AI Summary
This bill aims to provide for the care and transportation of police dogs injured in the line of duty. It amends existing laws to define a "police dog" as a specially trained dog used by a law enforcement agency, and requires ambulance services to authorize their emergency medical services (EMS) personnel to provide emergency treatment and transport to such dogs, as long as there are no persons requiring emergency medical treatment at the time. The bill also provides liability protections for EMS personnel who, in good faith, render emergency aid or transport to injured police dogs.
