AI Summary
This bill amends Michigan's Public Health Code to allow ambulances to transport injured police dogs and retired police dogs to veterinary clinics under specific circumstances. The bill permits ambulances to provide emergency transport for a police dog or retired police dog to a veterinary facility when no human patients require transport or emergency assistance at that time. Ambulance personnel may require a police officer to accompany the dog during transport. The bill defines a "police dog" by referencing existing penal code definitions and introduces a new definition for "retired police dog" as a dog trained for law enforcement work that previously served with a state or local law enforcement agency but is no longer working due to age or disease. This legislation expands existing provisions to ensure that both active and retired police canines can receive timely emergency medical treatment when needed, recognizing the valuable service these animals provide to law enforcement.
