MODERATE
The bill was amended to add a new section defining 'community paramedic services' and establishing eligibility requirements for certification, rather than repealing the entire ambulance district chapter. This change shifts the focus from restructuring ambulance districts to regulating a specific type of non-emergency medical care provided by licensed paramedics.
Scope change
The bill's scope changed from a comprehensive repeal and rewrite of ambulance district laws to a targeted amendment adding specific regulations for community paramedics within the existing legal framework.
DEFINITION

A new definition for 'community paramedic services' was added, specifying that these are non-emergent services provided by entities employing certified community paramedics under approved protocols.

ELIGIBILITY

New eligibility criteria were established for individuals seeking certification as community paramedics, requiring current paramedic licensure and completion of a specific certification program.

REQUIREMENT

Requirements were added for ambulance services providing community paramedic services outside their primary area, mandating memorandums of understanding or notification to local services to avoid duplication.

SCOPE

The original text proposing the repeal of sections 190.050, 190.051, 190.052, 190.070, and 190.090 and the enactment of new sections governing ambulance district elections and director terms was removed.
