What’s in it

This bill relates to the emergency medical services trust fund (fund) by modifying the division of revenue pursuant to urban renewal and modifying permissible expenditures from the fund. The bill excludes property taxes for emergency medical services imposed pursuant to Code chapter 422D from a division of revenue (tax increment financing) under Code section 403.19. The amendment to Code section 403.19 applies to property taxes due and payable in fiscal years beginning on or after July 1, 2026. The bill strikes the specific list of permissible expenditures from the fund, and specifies that expenditures from the fund must be used to directly provide or support emergency medical services, not violate laws relating to the delivery of such services, and not be used to service debt.
