Bill overview
This bill requires California’s 911 call centers to provide callers experiencing medical emergencies with immediate, pre-arrival medical instructions. These instructions must cover topics like airway management, choking, CPR, childbirth, bleeding control, epinephrine administration, and naloxone for opioid overdoses. The instructions must be approved by the local EMS agency’s medical director and align with the agency’s existing protocols. The bill also addresses reimbursement for local agencies impacted by this new requirement.
