Bill > S1701

This bill modifies two sections of Massachusetts law to transfer administrative oversight of emergency medical services from its current location to the Executive Office of Public Safety and Security. Specifically, the bill changes definitions in two chapters of Massachusetts General Laws (Chapters 111C and 111O) by replacing references to the current "Commissioner" and "Department" with new definitions that point to the Commissioner of Public Safety and the Department of Public Safety, respectively. These changes effectively shift the organizational responsibility for emergency medical services from its previous administrative structure to the public safety department. While the bill's text does not provide extensive detail about the practical implications of this transfer, it represents a bureaucratic reorganization that will consolidate emergency medical services management under the public safety leadership, potentially streamlining administrative processes and creating a more integrated approach to emergency medical service oversight.
