Bill > SB5764

This bill repeals the expiration date for the ambulance transport fund, effectively making the fund permanent. The bill specifically targets RCW 74.70.901, which previously set a sunset or termination date for this fund. By removing the expiration provisions from the law, the legislature ensures continued funding for ambulance transportation services without a predetermined end date. This action provides stability and long-term financial support for emergency medical transportation, which is critical for ensuring timely and accessible healthcare services, particularly in rural or underserved areas. The bill was passed by the Washington State Senate on March 11, 2025, approved by the House on April 9, 2025, signed by the Governor on April 22, 2025, and officially filed with the Secretary of State on April 23, 2025.
