The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 6616, seeks to amend the general statutes to classify 9-1-1 dispatchers, referred to as telecommunicators, as first responders. This classification aligns their status with that of other first responders, recognizing the critical role they play in emergency situations.

The bill does not contain any deletions from current law but introduces new legal language that explicitly defines telecommunicators as first responders. This change aims to enhance the recognition and support for 9-1-1 dispatchers, acknowledging their essential contributions to public safety and emergency response efforts.
