HB 2530 Summary

• Expands the Emergency Medical Services Council from 15 to 17 members by adding two new physician positions: one specializing in emergency medicine representing a professional association of emergency physicians, and one representing a professional association of emergency services physicians.

• Renumbers existing council member positions to accommodate the new physician representatives, including regional emergency medicine physicians, nurses, technicians, ambulance services, hospital administrators, fire districts, and public members.

• Modifies the Medical Direction Commission to include the four emergency physicians appointed to the EMS Council (rather than specifying only regional physicians).

• Updates medical control standards in section 36-2204 to explicitly include approval of centralized medical direction communications centers as a recommendation area for the medical director, council, and commission.

• Repeals the amended sections effective January 1, 2028, creating a sunset provision for these EMS governance changes.
