I know Maxie Bishop watches this list. Maxie, I was perusing the DSHS website

and noticed that there are rules in our state over this, correct? Can you

direct the group to those rules? I can't seem to put my finger on them.

Mark,

You are correct. The White Law was repealed and we are currently

without legal protection to be notified with an exposure happened. Many

agencies and entities are working to have it re-instated, but that will

take time.

A very valid point! Groups like NAEMT and EMSAT are only empowered by

numbers, numbers we frankly do not have.
