AI Summary
This bill amends the existing law (RCW 18.73.030) to allow emergency medical technicians (EMTs) to provide medical evaluation, testing, and vaccines outside of an emergency situation, in response to a request from a public health agency. The bill introduces the concept of "collaborative medical care," which refers to the provision of medical treatment and care in partnership with local, regional, or state public health agencies to control and prevent the spread of communicable diseases. The bill specifies that this collaborative medical care can be provided separately from emergency medical services.
