SS/SB 107 - This act modifies training requirements for members of an ambulance district board of directors. Under this act, board members shall complete three hours of continuing education for each term of office. Failure to do so shall result in immediate disqualification and the office shall be vacant until filled. This provision is identical to a provision in SB 206 (2025) and SCS/SB 1382 (2024) and SB 1340 (2024).
Under this act, any emergency medical services provider licensed under certain provisions of state law shall be considered a health care professional for purposes of liability and disclosure of materials produced by a peer review committee. Any quality improvement or quality assurance activity required by such licensed individuals shall be considered an activity of a peer review committee.
This act modifies the definition of a "health care professional" in the context of peer review committees and associated immunities from civil liabilities by adding physician assistants.
This act is identical to SCS/SB 1248 (2024).
