A bill for an act relating to the emergency medical services trust fund by modifying the division of revenue pursuant to urban renewal and modifying permissible expenditures from the fund, and including applicability provisions.
This bill modifies Iowa's Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Trust Fund by changing how related property taxes are collected and what the fund can be used for. It removes taxes for EMS services (under Chapter 422D) from urban renewal tax revenue streams, ensuring these taxes are collected separately starting July 2026. The bill also restricts fund expenditures to directly supporting EMS services aligned with county council resolutions, prohibits using funds to pay debt, and requires compliance with existing EMS service laws. These changes apply to all counties using the EMS Trust Fund.
