Office of Emergency Medical Services established to replace Emergency Medical Services Regulatory Board, duties specified and transferred, advisory council established, alternative EMS response model pilot program established, provisions modified relating to ambulance service personnel and emergency medical responders, and money appropriated.

HF 4738 replaces Minnesota's Emergency Medical Services Regulatory Board with a new Office of Emergency Medical Services, which will be led by a director appointed by the governor. This new office will take over key responsibilities such as licensing ambulance services, certifying emergency medical personnel, approving training programs, and investigating complaints against providers. The bill also creates advisory councils to guide the office and launches a pilot program to test alternative models for emergency medical response. Additionally, the legislation provides funding for these operations and requires the director to submit annual reports to the legislature on the state's emergency medical services system.
