The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 267, seeks to amend current statutes to permit emergency medical services (EMS) personnel to provide emergency treatment and transportation specifically for injured police dogs. This legislative change aims to enhance the care and support available for police dogs, recognizing their role and contributions in law enforcement.

The bill introduces new legal language that explicitly allows EMS personnel to administer emergency care to these animals, thereby formalizing their ability to respond to incidents involving injured police dogs. There are no deletions from current law noted in the text of the bill. The overall intent is to ensure that police dogs receive timely medical attention in emergency situations, similar to the care provided to human officers.
