EMTs; authorize those with law enforcement agency special teams to perform certain advanced medical procedures.

HB 399 authorizes Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs) certified by Mississippi's State Department of Health and assigned to law enforcement agency Special Response Teams (SRT) or SWAT teams - after completing specialized Tactical Emergency Casualty Care (TECC) or Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC) training - to perform specific advanced medical procedures under medical control. Key provisions include airway management (using devices like BVM), chest needle decompression for tension pneumothorax, and IV access for fluid administration. The bill references updating existing statutes (Sections 41-60-11 and 41-60-13) to formalize these expanded EMT roles and requires the State Board of Health to establish implementation rules. The bill was referred to committee but died there on February 3, 2026, and did not advance to law.
