What’s in it

This bill modifies the costs eligible for emergency medical services fund expenditures. Under current law, upon adoption of a resolution declaring emergency medical services to be an essential county service, a county board of supervisors may offer for voter approval the authorization to impose a local option income surtax or an ad valorem property tax. The proceeds from such a tax are deposited into an emergency medical services trust fund. The bill expands the costs which are eligible for emergency medical services trust fund expenditures to include the salary or wages of an emergency medical care provider providing emergency medical services. The bill defines “emergency medical care provider” and “emergency medical services”. The bill takes effect upon enactment.
