Bill > SB130

This bill establishes a commission to comprehensively study emergency medical services (EMS) delivery models in New Hampshire, composed of 10 members representing various state organizations, including three state representatives, one state senator, representatives from safety departments, professional associations, and healthcare organizations. The commission is tasked with reviewing the history of EMS delivery in the state, examining current municipal emergency response models, identifying barriers to providing EMS services (especially in rural communities), investigating challenges with emergency and non-emergency transfers, and exploring potential regional care models. The commission will examine issues like access to advanced life support and sustainability of emergency medical systems. Members will elect a chairperson, with the first meeting required within 45 days of the bill's effective date, and a quorum of four members. The commission must report its findings and recommendations to various state entities by November 1, 2025. Legislative members will receive mileage compensation, and the commission is designed to provide a comprehensive assessment of EMS challenges and potential improvements in New Hampshire. The bill includes a provision to repeal the commission's authorization on November 1, 2025, making it a time-limited study group focused on generating insights and potential policy recommendations for EMS service delivery.
