Senate Committee Amendment No. 1
Adds reference to:
210 ILCS 50/3.70

In the Illinois State Police Law, removes provisions requiring the Office of the Statewide 9-1-1 Administrator, in consultation with the Statewide 9-1-1 Advisory Board, to develop comprehensive guidelines for training and adopt rules and minimum standards for continuing education on emergency medical dispatch. Amends the Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Systems Act. Requires an emergency medical dispatcher to complete a training course in telecommunicator cardiopulmonary resuscitation (T-CPR) in accordance with rules adopted by the Illinois Department of Public Health. Requires each emergency medical dispatcher to provide prearrival instructions and telecommunicator cardiopulmonary resuscitation (T-CPR) in compliance with protocols selected and approved by the system's EMS medical director and approved by the Department (rather than provide prearrival instructions in compliance with protocols selected and approved by the system's EMS medical director and approved by the Department).
