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 seeks to enhance patient safety and ensure greater transparency and accountability among EMS providers. By implementing these measures, the legislation aims to improve the quality of emergency medical services and foster a more patient-centered approach in emergency situations.
