H 206 Idaho House · 68th Legislature, 1st Regular Session (2025)

EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES – Amends, repeals, and adds to existing law to transfer emergency medical services responsibilites to the Idaho Military Division.

This bill transfers administration of Idaho's emergency medical services (EMS) from the Department of Health and Welfare to the Idaho Military Division, effective July 1, 2025. It repeals existing EMS-related sections and creates new provisions under the Military Division, including establishing the Idaho Time Sensitive Emergency Council and registry. The transfer affects current EMS providers, counties managing EMS funds, and the Military Division, which will assume all existing EMS functions, budgets, and rules. The bill does not create new services but reorganizes oversight to align EMS administration with emergency management under the Military Division.
