1798.201
. (a) When information comes to the attention of the
medical director of the local EMS agency that an EMT-P licenseholder
has committed any act or omission that appears to constitute grounds
for disciplinary action under this division, the medical director of
the local EMS agency may evaluate the information to determine if
there is reason to believe that disciplinary action may be necessary.
(b) If the medical director sends a recommendation to the
authority for further investigation or discipline of the
licenseholder, the recommendation shall include all documentary
evidence collected by the medical director in evaluating whether or
not to make that recommendation. The recommendation and accompanying
evidence shall be deemed in the nature of an investigative
communication and be protected by Section 6254 of the Government
Code. In deciding what level of disciplinary action is appropriate in
the case, the authority shall consult with the medical director of
the local EMS agency.
