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 individuals needing such transportation, thereby enhancing accessibility and potentially reducing costs associated with emergency medical services.

The bill introduces new legal language that allows for the use of stretcher vans in this capacity, while no specific deletions from current law are noted in the text provided. The overall intent of the legislation is to improve transportation options for individuals with specific medical needs, ensuring they have access to safe and appropriate means of travel without the necessity of an ambulance.
