EMSA Withdraws AB 40 Emergency Regulations

What’s happening: On April 14, the Emergency Medical Services Authority (EMSA) released a withdrawal notice for its proposed Assembly Bill (AB) 40 (2023) emergency regulations.  

What else to know: EMSA stated that it would take “this opportunity to revisit and refine the proposed regulations to better reflect the needs, values, and practical realities of the communities we serve.” 

CHA previously commented on EMSA’s proposed regulations, urging the agency to preserve the legislation’s intent and ensure hospitals can effectively implement the new requirements. CHA is pleased that EMSA will take additional time to improve upon what was initially proposed.

Future updates, including the release of the revised regulations, will be shared in CHA News.
