Committee report: amend do pass adopted; reassigned to Committee on Tax and Fiscal Policy
Summary
The bill would make emergency ambulance service an essential function of every county, forcing commissioners to find any gaps in coverage and fill them by creating a county service, contracting with a provider, or other means. Counties could choose to opt out in limited circumstances, and if they do they would be shielded from civil suits over injuries or deaths caused by the lack of service. The measure also lets local governing bodies raise taxes or fees to fund these services.
