This bill establishes a new commission to study delivery models for emergency medical services (EMS) in New Hampshire, amending RSA 153-A by inserting a new subdivision titled "Commission to Study Delivery Models for Emergency Medical Services." The commission will consist of various members, including three representatives from the House, one from the Senate, and representatives from several associations related to fire, ambulance, hospitals, municipalities, and counties. The commission's responsibilities include reviewing the history and operation of EMS in the state, identifying barriers to service delivery, and making recommendations for sustainable EMS systems. The commission is required to report its findings and recommendations by November 1, 2025.

Additionally, the bill includes a provision to repeal RSA 153-A:38 and its associated subdivision heading, which pertains to the commission studying EMS delivery models, effective November 1, 2025. The bill specifies that legislative members of the commission will receive mileage reimbursement and outlines the process for electing a chairperson and convening the first meeting. Importantly, the Office of Legislative Budget Assistant has indicated that this bill will have no fiscal impact on state, county, or local expenditures or revenue.
