Earlier today, the Texas Senate Health and Human Services Committee heard testimony on SB 1574, which would provide critical support to EMS personnel and firefighters by providing them the same information that law enforcement officers are entitled to when they come into contact with bodily fluids during the course or scope of their employment.

TEMSA was pleased to support this important legislation and looks forward to working with SB 1574’s sponsor, Senator Carlos Uresti, on the legislation.
