This bill aims to enhance the role of emergency care providers by allowing them to deliver patient care within health care facilities. It introduces a new definition for emergency care providers and revises existing definitions to clarify their responsibilities and scope of practice. The bill amends several sections of the Montana Code Annotated (MCA), specifically sections 50-6-105, 50-6-201, 50-6-202, and 50-6-302, to incorporate these changes and ensure that emergency care providers are recognized and authorized to operate in these settings.

The legislation is designed to improve patient care by leveraging the skills of emergency care providers in health care facilities, particularly during times of high demand or emergencies. The bill is set to take effect immediately upon passage, reflecting the urgency of the need for expanded care options in health care environments.
