Proposition 11 would alter state laws that affect private paramedics and Emergency Medical Technicians. Under the measure, EMT’s and paramedics would be required to be on call during their entire shift including breaks. Ambulance companies would also be required to offer EMTs and paramedics mental health services and education on disasters, workplace shootings, and violence prevention. The measure would not apply to EMTs and paramedics who are paid with public funds.
