Bill Summary
AN ACT relating to first responder policies for emergencies occurring at a group home in certain municipalities and counties.
AI Summary
This bill requires municipal and county emergency response agencies in counties with populations over 300,000 to develop specific policies for responding to emergencies at group homes. A "group home" is defined according to a previous legislative act, and the policies must be designed to ensure efficient emergency responses, regardless of whether the group home is officially licensed. The emergency response agencies (including law enforcement, fire departments, and emergency medical services) must create procedures that take into account the unique characteristics of group homes when developing their emergency response protocols. The bill is set to take effect on September 1, 2025, and the legislature intends for these amendments to be harmonized with other potential legislative actions in the same session. This legislation aims to improve emergency preparedness and response capabilities for group homes in larger, more populous counties by mandating proactive policy development by local emergency services.
