California Membership as January Committee Reports……………………………………………………………….15 minutesBylaws/SOP’s: Bylaws are available online at Delegate/Gen Assembly (L. Hummel): Delegate applications are online. Education Committee: (Idman-Gervais): Our historic first partnership with the San Diego Medical society in presenting "Emergency Care by the Bay 2017" was quite a success. Excellent attendance and amazing speakers. Already working on speakers for the event in 2018. It will again be held at the Kona Kai resort in San Diego on Thursday November 8,2018. We will have plenty of space in 2018. Details to follow in upcoming months.EMS : At the November meeting, we reported the Stroke and STEMI Task Forces were complete. That has been reversed and we may see more information sent out for public comment this year. There is not an update on AB 909 - placing the Stop the Bleed kits in public buildings. With a new legislative session just beginning, we need to follow the progress of this legislation. AB 1650 - Community Paramedic Programs is currently at a standstill. We may see this legislation dropped or we may see it written allowing LEMSAs to make decisions independently for their jurisdiction. The EMS and the Government Affairs Committees recommend CA ENA stay neutral but follow this legislation As always we had an interesting discussion on Wall Time. San Bernadino County reported the ambulance company puts an EMT 1 in the ED hallway to watch over patients not turned over to the Emer Dept staff. Sometimes the EMS Committee has two or more subcommittees reporting the same information. We are going to try to combine reports to eliminate giving duplicate information. At each meeting it was decided to have a discussion segment. The topic shall be send in advance to all members who are on the current mailing list so members can prepare and gather facts and figures in advance.Submitted By: :Judith A Scott/Diane St. DenisENAF (Schertz): he Board has assigned Chapters to specific State Council Meetings to provide gifts for the Opportunity Drawings in 2018.

HR 1478 is a piece of legislation that would provide for research on gun violence. The National ENA GAC submitted a letter of support based on the outcome of General Assembly in 2017.
