Draft summary, still being checked against the official bill text. Read the source to confirm.

If passed, the bill would let paramedics get official certification, force insurers to pay for their services, and let the state reimburse medical aid.

Our take

What we think, in plain words.

Citizens could get faster emergency help in their neighborhoods, and they wouldn’t have to pay extra because insurers would cover the service; now is the time to support it before it stalls.
