The bill mandates that the peace officer standards and training commission establish specific course and continuing education requirements for public safety dispatcher training. This includes the incorporation of current guidelines on emergency cardiovascular care and the provision of appropriate cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) instructions to callers, specifically for those positions identified by the commission as requiring telecommunicator CPR training.

To implement these changes, the commission is required to amend its standards and rules by January 1, 2024. The bill also outlines that while the majority of the act will take effect on January 1, 2024, certain sections will become effective earlier on July 1, 2023.
