Availability of Emergency Medical Services

Summary

HB 1069 updates Colorado statutes to clarify who counts as a first responder, what constitutes a justifiable medical emergency, and how medical direction works. It gives the existing Emergency Medical and Trauma Services Advisory Council authority to review and recommend rules, and requires the state to reimburse ambulance providers for transport, on‑scene care and telemedicine evaluations starting in 2027. The bill also lets the prescription‑monitoring board share health data with a designated health‑information network using existing funds.
