Bill > HB1000

This bill requires counties with more than 500,000 residents to share the costs of the state's comprehensive emergency medical services (EMS) system, and sets an annual limit of $100 million on the state's contribution to the system. The Department of Health is directed to adopt interim rules by July 1, 2022 to implement these changes, which will remain in effect until permanent rules are adopted. The bill aims to equitably distribute the costs of operating the statewide EMS system without compromising access, coverage, and quality, particularly in the state's more populous counties.
