This bill amends existing laws to enhance the involvement of emergency medical services and the Alzheimer's Association in addressing Alzheimer's disease and related dementia. Specifically, it adds a representative from emergency medical services to the subcommittee on Alzheimer's disease and includes a member from the Alzheimer's Association on the emergency medical and trauma services coordinating board. The bill also modifies the scope of study for the subcommittee to include the capacity of public safety, law enforcement, and emergency medical services to respond to individuals with Alzheimer's disease.

Additionally, the bill increases the membership of the emergency medical and trauma services coordinating board from 22 to 23 members and updates the nomination process for board members to include the new representative from the Alzheimer's Association. The term limits for board members remain unchanged, with a maximum of three consecutive terms or nine consecutive years of service. The act is set to take effect 60 days after its passage.
