10 EXPLANATION
11 The inclusion of this explanation does not constitute agreement with
12 the explanation’s substance by the members of the general assembly.
13 This bill modifies the costs eligible for emergency medical

16 emergency medical services to be an essential county service,
17 a county board of supervisors may offer for voter approval

19 an ad valorem property tax. The proceeds from such a tax are
20 deposited into an emergency medical services trust fund.
21 The bill expands the costs which are eligible for emergency
22 medical services trust fund expenditures to include the salary
23 or wages of an emergency medical care provider providing
24 emergency medical services. The bill defines “emergency
25 medical care provider” and “emergency medical services”.
26 The bill takes effect upon enactment.
