Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
This bill increases the amount of funding for emergency medical services
assistance. Current law requires the Department of Health Services to provide
emergency medical services funding to ambulance service providers that are public
agencies, volunteer fire departments, or nonprofit corporations to assist in paying for
training and examinations for emergency medical technicians, who were previously
known as emergency medical technicians—basic, and emergency medical
responders and for ambulances, equipment, or supplies. Current law allows an
ambulance service provider that receives this funding assistance to escrow any
unused funds to spend in a subsequent year for training and credentialing of
emergency medical responders or emergency medical services practitioners at any
level.
For further information see the state and local fiscal estimate, which will be
printed as an appendix to this bill.
