This bill amends Section 422D.6 of the Iowa Code to expand the costs eligible for expenditures from the emergency medical services fund. Specifically, it adds a new provision that allows for the inclusion of the salaries or wages of emergency medical care providers who are delivering emergency medical services. The terms "emergency medical care provider" and "emergency medical services" are defined as per section 147A.1 of the Iowa Code.

Additionally, the bill includes an effective date provision, stating that it will take effect immediately upon enactment. This change aims to provide counties with greater flexibility in funding emergency medical services by allowing them to allocate trust fund resources towards personnel costs, thereby enhancing the sustainability and effectiveness of emergency medical care in Iowa.
