The bill mandates the commissioner of human services to create a voluntary program aimed at enhancing medical assistance funding for a level I trauma hospital in Hennepin County, which also provides statewide emergency medical transportation services. This program will not only increase funding for the hospital but also extend to affiliated physicians, ambulance services, and billing professionals. The commissioner is instructed to explore various funding approaches, including intergovernmental transfers and directed payments, ensuring that the new funding supplements existing medical assistance rather than replacing it.

Additionally, the commissioner is required to present recommendations and draft legislation for the implementation of this program to the relevant legislative committees by December 15, 2024. This initiative aims to bolster the financial support for critical trauma care and emergency services in the state, thereby enhancing the overall healthcare infrastructure.
