The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 1160, aims to amend chapter 368d of the general statutes to establish specific emergency medical services (EMS) response protocols. Key provisions include the establishment of standards for oxygen administration, a requirement for EMS personnel to wear body cameras to record patient interactions, and the inclusion of training and certification protocols that prioritize patient care over administrative tasks, such as insurance verification.

The bill emphasizes the importance of patient safety and provider transparency and accountability in emergency medical services. By implementing these protocols, the legislation seeks to enhance the quality of care provided to patients during emergencies while ensuring that EMS personnel are held accountable for their interactions with patients.
