The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 363, aims to amend the general statutes to incorporate specific provisions of the federal Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act (EMTALA). This act addresses the treatment of emergency medical conditions, ensuring that individuals receive necessary medical care in emergency situations. The bill is introduced by Senators Gordon and Somers and has been referred to the Public Health Committee for further consideration.

The primary focus of the bill is to codify the existing federal standards into state law, thereby reinforcing the legal framework surrounding emergency health care. By doing so, the bill seeks to enhance the protection of patients experiencing emergency medical conditions, ensuring they receive appropriate treatment without delay. The language of the bill does not indicate any deletions from current law, but rather emphasizes the insertion of the federal provisions into the state's legal framework.
