Supplementing and amending appropriations to Office of Emergency Medical Services
HB 245 directs the West Virginia State Treasury to release an additional $5 million from unspent general revenue funds to the Department of Health's Office of Emergency Medical Services for the 2025 fiscal year. This money is designated specifically to support the statewide EMS program, ensuring that emergency medical services have the necessary financial resources to operate. The bill serves as a supplementary appropriation, adding to the existing budget allocated for these services without changing the overall structure of state spending. Once enacted, the funds become available for the designated spending unit to use for its approved expenses during the fiscal year ending in June 2025.
