AI Summary

  • EMS organizations must submit data to the commissioner monthly instead of quarterly, including call volumes, response times, passed/cancelled calls, and mutual aid statistics, effective October 1, 2026

  • Commissioner must establish and maintain a public EMS response time dashboard displaying data disaggregated by geography, call type, and time of day, excluding patient identifying information

  • Organizations failing to submit required data for six consecutive months face a compliance order, and continued non-compliance triggers a hearing on potential revocation of primary service area assignment

  • Civil penalties up to $100 per day apply for each failure to report required patient data, with organizations given 15 business days to respond to deficiency notices; state agencies are exempt from these penalties

  • Commissioners of Public Health, Social Services, and Emergency Services and Public Protection must use dashboard data to support federal EMS grant applications and direct funding to communities with greatest need for improved response times
