Bill Summary
Special fund for emergency medical services; distribution of certain funds to localities. Expands the use of funds by localities from the special emergency medical services fund. The bill allows funds to be used for (i) training of emergency medical services personnel; (ii) the purchase of equipment and supplies; (iii) maintenance of equipment, facilities, and certain vehicles; and (iv) operating expenses deemed necessary by the locality to ensure the provision of emergency medical expenses in such locality. Under current law, funds may only be used for training of personnel and purchase of equipment and supplies.
AI Summary
This bill expands the permissible uses of funds collected from a $4 surcharge on certain vehicle registrations, which are designated for emergency medical services (EMS). Previously, these funds could only be used for training EMS personnel and purchasing equipment and supplies. Now, localities can also use this money for the maintenance of EMS equipment, facilities, and certain vehicles, as well as for operating expenses that the locality deems necessary to ensure the provision of EMS. This change aims to provide greater flexibility to localities in supporting their EMS operations.
