Senate Bill 2212 amends the Code of Criminal Procedure to require a peace officer who encounters an injured person while discharging the officer's official duties to immediately and as necessary request emergency medical services (EMS) personnel to provide the person with emergency medical services and, while waiting for EMS personnel to arrive, provide first aid or treatment to the person to the extent of the officer's skill and training. The bill provides exceptions to this requirement in certain circumstances when the officer is injured or when making the request or providing treatment would expose someone to a risk of bodily injury.
