This bill aims to provide financial aid to certain licensed ambulance services in Minnesota by establishing a structured process for determining eligibility and calculating aid payments. It defines key terms such as "EMS responses" and "response density," and specifies that only licensees with a response density of 30 responses per square mile or fewer are eligible for aid. The bill outlines the application process for eligible licensees and details how the director will calculate aid payments based on various factors, including the total square mileage of primary service areas and the number of EMS responses.

Additionally, the bill mandates that recipients of aid payments must use the funds exclusively for expenses related to licensed ambulance services within their primary service areas and must report on the use of these funds annually. It also includes an appropriation of $15 million for each of the fiscal years 2026 and 2027 from the general fund to support these aid payments. The director is required to certify and distribute the aid payments by December 31 of each year, ensuring accountability through annual reporting to legislative committees.
