AI Summary

This bill was returned unsigned by the Governor, who objected to the creation of a nine-member commission to study the use and distribution of data from the Department of Public Health's (DPH) trauma registry. The Governor argued that this work would be duplicative of the existing Trauma Systems committee, which already provides guidance to DPH on issues related to data collection, quality assurance, and interoperability among EMS and hospital trauma systems. Instead, the Governor proposed that DPH itself study the issue of health care inequality by consulting the trauma registry and other available sources, and provide a set of findings and recommendations to the Legislature.
