The bill establishes a one-time aid program for licensed ambulance services in Minnesota, aimed at providing financial support for operational and capital expenses. It defines key terms related to ambulance services, including "licensed ambulance service provider," "capital expenses," and "operational expenses." The bill outlines eligibility criteria for aid, which requires providers to have held a nonexcluded license in 2022 and to continue operating under that license in 2024. It also specifies an application process, requiring eligible providers to submit applications by September 16, 2024, and mandates that the commissioner of revenue, in coordination with the Emergency Medical Services Regulatory Board, verify the data submitted.

The bill includes provisions for calculating aid payments based on the number of emergency medical service (EMS) responses and the response density of the service area. It appropriates $24 million from the general fund for aid payments in fiscal year 2025, with a portion allocated for administrative costs. Additionally, it requires recipients to report on the use of the aid by February 15, 2026, detailing how the funds were spent on eligible expenses. The effective date for the aid program is set for 2024.
