Synopsis As Introduced Amends the Illinois State Police Law. Provides that, beginning January 1, 2026, all 9-1-1 telecommunicators who provide dispatch for emergency medical conditions shall be required to be trained, utilizing the most current nationally recognized emergency cardiovascular care guidelines, in high-quality telecommunicator cardiopulmonary resuscitation (T-CPR). Defines telecommunicator cardiopulmonary resuscitation for the purposes of the provisions.
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).
