The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 1082, seeks to amend sections 13b-105 and 14-100a of the general statutes to permit holders of temporary or permanent livery permits to utilize stretcher vans for the nonemergency transportation of individuals who require transport in a prone position on a stretcher. This change aims to provide an alternative to ambulance services for those needing nonemergency transportation, thereby enhancing accessibility and options for patients.

The bill introduces new legal language that allows for the use of stretcher vans in this capacity, while it does not specify any deletions from the current law. The intent behind this legislation is to improve the transportation options available for individuals who may not require emergency medical services but still need specialized transport due to their medical condition.
