Health; transfer responsibility for oversight of emergency medical services from Department of Public Health to Georgia Emergency Medical Services and Trauma Council

Summary

The legislation creates the Georgia Emergency Medical Services and Trauma Council and moves most EMS oversight functions—including ambulance licensing, stroke‑center certification, and cardiac‑care administration—to that council. It also shifts regional EMS contracting authority to the Board of Community Health and transfers related staff, agreements, and property. The change is intended to streamline coordination and improve the quality and cost‑effectiveness of emergency medical care.
