Bill > SB271

This bill modifies various provisions related to fire protection, ambulance services, and emergency medical services in Missouri. The key changes include expanding the State Advisory Council on Emergency Medical Services to include more representation from professional associations, establishing new training requirements for ambulance service administrators and board members, and creating provisions for ambulance district operations. Notably, the bill prohibits fire protection ordinances from regulating farm buildings or structures, allows fire district boards to administer multiple pension plans simultaneously, and provides protections for individuals rendering emergency care without compensation. The bill also adjusts sales tax provisions for ambulance and fire protection districts, including how these districts can impose and potentially repeal sales taxes, and how they must adjust property tax levies in response to sales tax revenues. Additionally, the bill introduces new requirements for forensic examinations at hospitals, including the use of telehealth services for sexual assault examinations, and provides more detailed guidelines for ambulance service licensing and operations.
