SB 705 - This act allows health care professionals from any state to provide care as necessitated by an emergency subject to approval by the State Emergency Management Agency. The act also allows mutual aid agreements between political subdivisions and other public and private entities. In these instances, the professionals shall not be liable for civil damages or administrative sanctions other than damages for acts of malice. The Governor may suspend rules prescribing procedures for conducting state business when strict compliance would hinder action by the Department of Health and Senior Services during an emergency. The Department of Health and Senior Services may suspend rules pertaining to dispensing medications in a state of emergency and may dispense under the supervision of a licensed health care provider.
