It also repeals the "Ground Ambulance Service Provider Assessment Act," which was a mechanism for funding these services, and specifies that any remaining funds in the associated revenue fund after June 30, 2026, will be held and disbursed according to existing rules. The changes are set to take effect on July 1, 2026.
