AI Summary
This bill amends Chapter 111C of the General Laws to modify the staffing requirements for ambulances transporting patients. It specifies that when a Class I, II, or V ambulance transports a patient receiving paramedic-level advanced life support, the ambulance must be staffed by at least two emergency medical technicians, one of whom must be certified at the EMT-Paramedic level. For basic life support transport, the ambulance must have at least two emergency medical technicians. Additionally, the bill allows rural volunteer ambulance services to staff their Class I, II, or V ambulances with one emergency medical technician and one "first responder" (a qualified police officer, firefighter, or emergency reserve member) when transporting patients at the basic life support level.
