This bill modifies provisions relating to the State Advisory Council on Emergency Medical Services.
The bill changes the amount of council members from 16 to no fewer than 13, removes the requirement that one member must be a resident of a city not within a county, and updates the criteria for member appointment. This bill also changes the procedure for electing a chairperson by removing the designation of the chairperson by the Governor and instead requiring the council to elect the chairperson or any other officer as deemed necessary.
This bill also removes a provision stating that the regional EMS advisory committees are to serve as resources for identifying potential members of the council.
This bill is the same as HCS HB 1953 (2024).
