AI Summary

  • Requires emergency ambulance providers to establish a voluntary personal protective equipment (PPE) program allowing employees to purchase subsidized multithreat body protective gear (bullet, strike, slash, and stab resistant) using an employer-funded stipend.

  • Mandates that emergency ambulance providers inform employees about the PPE program opportunity upon initial employment and annually thereafter.

  • Specifies that employee participation in the PPE program is completely voluntary and employees cannot be prevented from wearing purchased protective gear while on duty.

  • Defines "emergency ambulance provider" as employers providing ground ambulance services, excluding the state and political subdivisions of the state.

  • Exempts the bill from state reimbursement requirements under the California Constitution because it creates new criminal penalties for violations.
