LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
AB 263, as introduced, Rodriguez.
Emergency medical services workers: rights and working conditions.
Existing law, the Emergency Medical Services System and the Prehospital Emergency Medical Care Personnel Act, governs local emergency medical service systems and establishes the Emergency Medical Services Authority, which is responsible for the coordination and integration of all state activities concerning emergency medical services. Existing law provides that emergency medical personnel have specified due process rights when they are subject to suspension or termination for disciplinary cause or reason, as defined.
The California Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1973 has the purpose of assuring safe and healthful working conditions for all California workers by authorizing the enforcement of effective standards, assisting and encouraging employers to maintain safe and healthful working conditions, and by providing for research, information,
education, training, and enforcement in the field of occupational safety and health.
This bill would declare the intent of the Legislature to enact legislation relating to the rights and working conditions of emergency medical services workers.
