Senate Bill No. 195, known as "The Danny's Dose EMS Treatment Act," aims to enhance the administration of medications by licensed emergency medical services (EMS) practitioners in Louisiana. The bill mandates the Louisiana Emergency Medical Services Commission to establish protocols that allow licensed emergency medical technicians, advanced emergency medical technicians, and paramedics to administer patient-carried, time-critical prescription medications to individuals with rare diseases, chronic illnesses, and special medical needs. This administration can occur at the request of the patient or their family, following the established protocols.

Additionally, the bill provides legal immunity for EMS practitioners who administer these medications, protecting them from civil liability, criminal prosecution, or disciplinary actions related to the outcomes of the medication administration, unless such outcomes result from gross negligence or willful misconduct. The medications permitted under this law are limited to intranasal, intravenous, and intramuscular forms. The effective date for this legislation is set for August 1, 2026.
