The proposed bill would amend current statutes by adding new requirements for privately owned ambulance services regarding the information they must provide to the department. Specifically, it would require these services to report various details about their operations, including the types of calls received, dispatch and hospital times, and instances when they are unable to provide backup or mutual aid. Additionally, the bill mandates the reporting of complaints received from individuals and health care facilities, ensuring a comprehensive overview of the ambulance service's performance.

Furthermore, the bill stipulates that the department must make this information publicly available upon request, while also ensuring that any personally identifying information is redacted. The department is also required to post the redacted information on its public website, enhancing transparency and accountability in emergency medical services. This update aims to improve public access to information regarding ambulance services and their operational effectiveness.
