In plain language
Allows EMS personnel to transport patients under the influence to mental health facilities.
This bill updates the Emergency Medical Services Systems Act to let EMS personnel bypass regular emergency departments. It allows them to transport patients to mental health facilities even if the patients are under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
What this means for you
- Workers: For EMS personnel, this means they can more easily assist individuals in need of mental health care, even if those individuals are under the influence.
Summary
Amends the Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Systems Act. In provisions concerning when EMS personnel may contact Online Medical Control or an EMS Medical Director or Emergency Communications Registered Nurse to request bypass or diversion of the closest emergency department and request transport to the closest or appropriate EMS System-approved mental health facility, removes the requirement that the patient must not be under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
