The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 362, seeks to amend title 19a of the general statutes to grant municipalities the authority to select their own primary service area responder. This change aims to provide local governments with greater autonomy in determining the emergency response services that best meet the needs of their communities.
The bill does not include any deletions from current law but introduces new legal language that explicitly allows for this selection process by municipalities. The intent behind this legislation is to enhance local control and potentially improve the efficiency and effectiveness of emergency response services within each municipality.
