Bill > S08806

This bill directs the Department of Health (DOH) to create and make available a model comprehensive county emergency medical system plan to guide counties in developing their own plans, and to review these county plans within 60 days of submission. It also requires counties, in coordination with their regional emergency medical services councils (groups that oversee emergency medical services in a specific area), to develop and maintain these comprehensive county emergency medical system plans. These plans will outline how coordinated and reliable emergency medical services will be provided to all residents within the county, including assessing existing services, planning for needed improvements, determining organizational structures for service delivery, and estimating costs. The bill also specifies that the county emergency medical system coordinator or a designee will lead the planning process, and the plans must identify current emergency medical service providers and any areas lacking them. The bill further clarifies that these county plans must be submitted electronically to the DOH, their regional emergency medical services council, and the state emergency medical services council within six months of the law's effective date, and the law itself will take effect six months after it becomes law.
