The bill mandates that air ambulances in Arkansas must contact the Arkansas Trauma System to receive guidance on the most appropriate destination for transporting patients. This requirement aims to ensure that individuals receive timely and effective medical care by directing air ambulances to the best facilities based on the patient's condition.

To implement this requirement, the bill introduces a new section to the Arkansas Code, specifically 20-13-220, which outlines the obligation for air ambulances to seek direction from the Arkansas Trauma System regarding transport destinations. This addition is intended to enhance the coordination of emergency medical services and improve patient outcomes in critical situations.
