Medical transport services; allow non-emergency transport of patients on stretchers

HB 374 allows non-emergency medical transport services (not just licensed ambulances) to transport patients on stretchers, gurneys, or cots for routine medical appointments or care. It requires transport vehicles to be equipped for such use and specifies that transport must occur in non-emergency situations - like regular doctor visits - not during life-threatening crises. The State Committee of Public Health can create rules to enforce these provisions, and the law takes effect on October 1, 2025. This directly affects medical transport providers and patients needing non-urgent mobility assistance.
