Sec. 771.102. ESTABLISHMENT OF THE EMERGENCY MEDICAL DISPATCH RESOURCE CENTERS PROGRAM. (a) The commission, with the assistance of the advisory council appointed under Section 773.012 , shall administer the program in which emergency medical dispatchers located in regional emergency medical dispatch resource centers are used to provide life-saving and other emergency medical instructions to persons who need guidance while awaiting the arrival of emergency medical personnel. The purpose of a regional emergency medical dispatch resource center is not to dispatch personnel or equipment resources but to serve as a resource to provide pre-arrival instructions that may be accessed by selected public safety answering points that are not adequately staffed or funded to provide those services. (b) Repealed by Acts 2015, 84th Leg., R.S., Ch. 457 , Sec. 7, eff. September 1, 2015. (c) The commission, with the assistance of the advisory council, shall: (1) design criteria and protocols and provide oversight as needed to conduct the program; (2) collect the necessary data to evaluate the program; and (3) report its findings to the legislature.
