What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan 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.
