HB 7201 Connecticut House · 2025 Regular Session

AN ACT CONCERNING A SUPPLEMENTAL PARAMEDIC.

This law creates a new "supplemental paramedic" role within emergency medical services, establishing specific training standards for individuals providing basic life support under supervision. It directly affects ambulance service providers and patients receiving non-life-threatening emergency care by expanding the qualified workforce available for such cases. The key provision authorizes supplemental paramedics to perform defined duties without requiring a full paramedic license, streamlining staffing for lower-acuity emergencies. The bill was enacted as Public Act 25-56 after receiving gubernatorial approval on June 10, 2025.
