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 Public Health Committee for further consideration.

The primary focus of the bill is to align state law with federal standards regarding emergency health care, thereby enhancing the legal framework governing the treatment of patients experiencing medical emergencies. By codifying these provisions, the bill intends to provide clarity and consistency in the application of emergency medical treatment laws within the state. No specific deletions from current law are mentioned in the text, indicating that the bill is primarily an insertion of new legal language to reinforce existing federal guidelines.
