Requires municipalities to provide basic life support services; establishes basic life support services as essential.

Summary

The bill defines basic life support (BLS) services—including ambulance care, CPR, airway clearance, hemorrhage control and wound treatment—as essential and obligates each municipality to provide them. Local governments can meet this duty by licensing private providers, contracting with public or nonprofit entities, entering mutual‑aid agreements, partnering with hospitals, or using fire department EMS. The goal is to guarantee that all residents have access to pre‑hospital emergency care.
