Establishes requirements and liability protection for registered nurses and licensed practical nurses serving on ambulance crews.
This bill amends South Dakota law to allow registered nurses and licensed practical nurses to serve on ambulance crews. It specifies that these nurses are not liable for civil damages for any act or omission in connection with care provided on an ambulance run, unless the act or omission is inconsistent with the nurse's training, or the act or omission was the result of gross negligence or willful misconduct. Care provided by these nurses must be within the scope of their license and under the direction and supervision of the medical or program director.
