FL H1295

Adds new definitions to emergency medical services law, including "Emergency" (acute medical condition requiring immediate attention) and "Nonemergency" (situation not requiring immediate action or transport, as defined by medical direction).

Authorizes paramedics and emergency medical technicians to provide alternative treatment options to nonemergency and urgent care patients outside emergency departments, including health promotion, wellness activities, blood pressure screenings, and immunizations (paramedics only) under medical director supervision.

Requires Department of Health to adopt rules governing telemedicine use by EMS licensees and revises ambulance equipment and vehicle design standards to reference current national standards.

Expands immunity from liability for medical personnel (emergency medical technicians, paramedics, physicians, advanced registered nurse practitioners, and physician assistants) providing emergency examination and treatment to incapacitated persons without consent when conditions are met.

Updates cross-references throughout Florida Statutes to reflect renumbered definition subsections and takes effect July 1, 2018.
