   New Act                                                                     

        Creates the Emergency Medical  Dispatch  Act.   Provides  that  a      
   person  may  not  represent himself or herself as an emergency medical      
   dispatcher unless he or she  is  certified  as  an  emergency  medical      
   dispatcher by the Department of Public Health.  Provides that a person      
   may  not  conduct  a training course for emergency medical dispatchers      
   unless he or she is certified to do so by  the  Department.   Provides      
   that  the  Department  shall  issue  certificates  to persons who meet      
   certain minimum requirements.  Provides that the Department shall           
   grant certification to persons certified by the National Academy of         
   Emergency Medical Dispatch.                                                 
        HOUSE AMENDMENT NO. 1.                                                 
          Adds reference to:                                                   
          210 ILCS 50/3.70                                                     
        Changes the definition of "medical director" to provide that a         
   medical director shall be a physician licensed to practice medicine in      
   all of its branches rather than a licensed physician. Also amends the       
   Emergency Medical Services  (EMS)  Systems  Act.   Provides  that  the      
   Department  of  Public  Health  has the responsibility to establish an      
   annual recertification requirement for Emergency Medical  Dispatchers,      
   including   continuing  education  requirements.   Provides  that  the      
   Department may waive Emergency Medical Dispatcher  requirements  based      
   on  whether the previously-attended dispatcher training program merits      
   automatic recertification for the dispatcher.                               
          FISCAL NOTE (Department of Public Health)                            
          HB 279 will create a minimal fiscal impact on the Department.        
          It would add a re-certification process and verification of          
          continuing education to the existing program. It is believed         
          that the extra workload could be absorbed within the Depart-         
          ment's existing staff.                                               
        HOUSE AMENDMENT NO. 2.                                                 
          Deletes reference to:                                                
          New Act                                                              
        Deletes the provisions creating the  Emergency  Medical  Dispatch      
   Act.                                                                        
        SENATE AMENDMENT NO. 1.                                                
        Changes the definition of "Emergency Medical Dispatcher".   Makes      
   additional changes concerning the authority of the Illinois Department      
   of Public Health under the Act. Adds a January 1, 2002 effective date.      
        GOVERNOR'S AMENDATORY VETO MESSAGE                                     
        Recommends that HB 279 be amended as follows: Provides that pre-       
   arrival support instructions be provided in a "non-discriminatory"          
   rather than a "non-discretionary" manner. Requires each "EMS Medical        
   Director" rather than each "EMD and EMD Agency" to report to the            
   Department whenever an action has taken place that may require the          
   revocation or suspension of a certificate issued by the Department.
