Synopsis of Bill as introduced:
        Amends  the  Hospital  Licensing  Act.   Adds  firefighters   and      
   emergency  medical technicians to the list of emergency care providers      
   that a hospital must notify when the care  providers  have  treated  a      
   patient with a dangerous communicable or infectious disease.  Requires      
   the  ambulance  run  sheet  to contain all municipal or private agency      
   personnel who have provided any pre-hospital care immediately prior to      
   transport of a patient with a  dangerous  communicable  or  infectious      
   disease.   Adds the designated infectious disease control officer of a      
   municipal fire department or fire protection district to the  list  of      
   those persons responsible for contacting all personnel involved in the      
   transport of the patient.                                                   
        SENATE AMENDMENT NO. 1.                                                
        Removes the term "paramedics" from the  list  of  emergency  care      
   providers  to  which  a  hospital  must give notification concerning a      
   patient's dangerous communicable or infectious  disease  (but  retains      
   the term "emergency medical technicians").  Provides for an attachment      
   to the ambulance run sheet containing specified information.                
        HOUSE AMENDMENT NO. 1.                                                 
        Deletes everything  after  the  enacting  clause.     Amends  the      
   Hospital  Licensing  Act.   Adds  firefighters  and  emergency medical      
   technicians to the list of emergency care providers  that  a  hospital      
   must  notify  when  the  care  providers have treated a patient with a      
   dangerous communicable or infectious  disease.   Requires,  except  in      
   municipalities  with  a population of over 1,000,000, an attachment to      
   the ambulance run sheet that contains all municipal or private  agency      
   personnel who have provided any pre-hospital care immediately prior to      
   transport  of  a  patient  with a dangerous communicable or infectious      
   disease.   Provides that, in municipalities with a population of  over      
   1,000,000,  the ambulance run sheet must contain the company number or      
   unit designation number for any fire  department  personnel  who  have      
   provided any pre-hospital care immediately prior to transport. Adds         
   the designated infectious disease control officer of a municipal fire       
   department  or  fire  protection  district  to  the  list  of  persons      
   responsible for contacting all personnel involved in the transport  of      
   the patient.
