Ambulance service grant programs and rural emergency medical services uncompensated care pool payment program established, monthly emergency medical services telecommunications fee and prepaid wireless emergency medical services fee established, transfers of money authorized, and money appropriated.
HF 33 establishes two new grant programs to support Minnesota's ambulance and emergency medical services (EMS). The ambulance service cost of readiness grant helps licensed ambulance providers cover operational and capital expenses, while the emergency medical services improvement grant assists counties, cities, and townships in modernizing local EMS systems. The bill also creates two new fees - a monthly emergency medical services telecommunications fee and a prepaid wireless emergency medical services fee - to fund these programs. These changes directly affect ambulance services, rural EMS providers, and local governments responsible for emergency response systems across Minnesota.
