To increase funding for EMS first responders.

Summary

HB 5168 establishes three special revenue funds for emergency medical services – a county‑based fund, an all‑county fund, and a crisis‑response/mental‑health fund – and directs up to $12 million of State Lottery net profits each year to those funds. It also clarifies that certified microgrid districts and high‑impact data centers must pay the same taxes and fire/ambulance service fees as other businesses and are entitled to police and fire protection. The bill aims to boost financing for EMS personnel, equipment, training, and mental‑health support while ensuring new energy and data projects contribute to local emergency‑service costs.
