EMS-RURAL STAFFING-PART-TIME

Summary

The bill amends the EMS Systems Act so the Department of Public Health can approve an alternative staffing model for vehicle service providers that serve a rural or semi‑rural area of 10,000 people or fewer. Providers that rely only on volunteers, paid‑on‑call workers, or part‑time employees – or any mix of them – may now use part‑time staff, which was previously prohibited. The change is intended to help small communities keep emergency medical services running.
