House Bill No. 6920 mandates that health care providers, including emergency department physicians, physician assistants, advanced practice registered nurses, and emergency medical services personnel, adhere to patient-specific emergency medical care protocols for individuals with rare diseases or special health care needs. These protocols must be developed by the patient's physician, physician assistant, or advanced practice registered nurse and provided to the health care provider by the patient or their legal representative. The bill aims to ensure that patients with unique medical requirements receive appropriate and tailored emergency care.

The bill will take effect on October 1, 2025, and does not anticipate any fiscal impact on state or municipal budgets, as the procedural changes required for implementing these protocols are expected to involve minimal adjustments in workload for health care providers. The legislation emphasizes the importance of personalized care in emergency situations, ensuring that specific medical needs are met for vulnerable patient populations.
