Bill Summary
The statement includes a measure digest written in compliance with applicable readability standards. Digest: The Act tells OHA to study ways to get more federal funding for ground medical trans- port. (Flesch Readability Score: 63.6). Requires the Oregon Health Authority to study options to maximize federal funding for the ground emergency medical transport program. Directs the authority to submit findings to the in- terim committees of the Legislative Assembly related to health care not later than September 15, 2026.
AI Summary
This bill requires the Oregon Health Authority (OHA) to conduct a comprehensive study on strategies for maximizing federal funding for ground emergency medical transport services. Specifically, the OHA must research and develop recommendations for increasing federal financial support for medical transport programs and prepare a detailed report to be submitted to the Legislative Assembly's interim health care committees by September 15, 2026. The bill includes a sunset provision that automatically repeals the study requirement on January 2, 2027, which means the directive will expire after the report is submitted. The primary goal appears to be identifying potential ways to improve the financial resources available for ground emergency medical transport services in Oregon, with an emphasis on exploring additional federal funding opportunities that could help support these critical healthcare transportation services.
