An Act establishing medical civil rights
This bill requires law enforcement and correctional officers to immediately request emergency medical services when a person in their custody or under their direct observation shows signs of an emergency medical condition or is medically unstable. It defines key terms like "emergency medical condition" (symptoms severe enough to risk serious harm without prompt care) and "medically unstable" (unstable health status likely to become an emergency). Officers must act if the person communicates their condition or if the officer reasonably observes symptoms, with limited exceptions if the person was recently cleared by a medical professional. The law directly affects individuals interacting with police or in correctional facilities and sets clear protocols for officer response to medical crises.
