Bill > SB1154

This bill requires counties with more than 500,000 residents to share in 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 bill also authorizes the Department of Health to adopt interim rules to implement these changes, which will remain in effect until permanent rules are adopted. The purpose is to equitably distribute the costs of the statewide EMS system without compromising access, coverage, and quality in the state's most populous counties.
