SUBJECT: Legislation: SB 1517 (Royce) .
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION•
Adopt a position of support for SB 1517 by Senator Royce, as
introduced on January 9, 1986.
BACKGROUND:
One of the Resolutions adopted by the Board and forwarded to the
County Supervisors Association of California, at the request of
Chief William Maxfield, urged legislation which would correct a
technical error. whereby paramedics were excluded from the limit
on the amount of damages for non-economic losses which may be
awarded in a personal injury suit to $250,000, whereas most other
health care providers are afforded such protection.
Senator Royce has introduced SB 1517 which does precisely what
the Board requested. We are, therefore, recommending that the
Board support SB 1517.
