This bill proposes to amend current statutes by adding a new exemption from medical licensing requirements for individuals providing basic first aid in good faith and without compensation. Specifically, it introduces a new provision that allows such actions without the need for a medical license, thereby expanding the scope of exemptions already outlined in the law. The current statute will be updated to include this new exemption as item 10 under the existing list of exemptions.

Additionally, the bill defines "basic first aid" and outlines specific actions that fall under this definition, such as cleaning minor cuts, treating minor burns, applying bandages, and providing fluids for heat stress. It also includes the administration of nonprescription medications for treating these ailments. These definitions and provisions will be inserted into the existing statute, providing clarity on what constitutes basic first aid and ensuring that individuals performing these actions are protected under the law.
