The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 363, aims to codify specific provisions of the federal Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act (EMTALA) into state law. This legislation seeks to ensure that the treatment of emergency medical conditions, as defined by the federal act, is clearly outlined within the state's general statutes. The bill is introduced by Senators Gordon and Somers and has been referred to the Committee on Public Health for further consideration.

The bill does not include any deletions from current law but focuses on the insertion of new legal language to align state regulations with federal standards regarding emergency health care. By codifying these provisions, the bill intends to enhance the clarity and accessibility of emergency medical treatment guidelines for healthcare providers and patients within the state.
