AB 1403: Emergency services.
The proposed legislation aims to allow a county board of supervisors or a designated local emergency medical services agency to provide ambulance services within the county's jurisdiction. The county can assign the duty of providing ambulance services to an existing department, providing it with necessary staffing, vehicles, and equipment. A written policy must be adopted for emergency ambulance services providers to enter into contracts with them. The policy should include requirements for contracts, such as service levels, billing, and accountability. The county must ensure that the provider meets minimum standards for service quality, safety, and patient care. The bill also makes related findings and declarations regarding the importance of emergency medical services in the county.
