HB 1121 updates South Dakota's definitions of advanced life support personnel to clarify which types of emergency medical technicians qualify for this designation, specifically listing EMT-Intermediate/85, EMT-Intermediate/99, EMT-Advanced, and EMT-Paramedic as the approved levels. The bill also expands the scope of what "emergency medical technician-advanced" means by explicitly authorizing them to perform additional procedures like placing esophageal and supraglottic airways and starting intravenous lines, which were not previously listed in state law.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
