Bill > HB4249

This bill makes supplemental appropriations totaling $6,000,000 from the State General Fund/General Purpose for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2025. * **Department of Treasury:** $6,000,000 is appropriated for contracted ambulance providers. This funding is intended to reimburse ambulance providers who are in compliance with specific public health code requirements and can verify they are owed payments by a healthcare services provider contracted with the Department of Corrections for services rendered between 2023 and 2024. Any funds not used to satisfy these debts will lapse to the State General Fund. Recipients who later receive reimbursement through a litigation settlement must return those funds to the state. The Department of Treasury is required to develop a grant application process, publish it online, allow 30 days for applications, and distribute funds within 30 days of the application window closing.
