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 of Representatives, one from the Senate, and representatives from several associations related to fire, ambulance, hospitals, municipalities, and counties. The commission is tasked with reviewing the history and operation of EMS delivery in the state, identifying barriers to service, and making recommendations for sustainable EMS systems. Legislative members will receive mileage reimbursement for their duties, and the commission is required to report its findings by November 1, 2025.

Additionally, the bill includes a repeal of RSA 153-A:38 and the associated subdivision heading, which indicates that the previous commission structure is being replaced by this new commission. The effective date for the repeal is set for November 1, 2025, while the remainder of the act will take effect upon passage. The Office of Legislative Budget Assistant has indicated that this bill will have no fiscal impact on state, county, or local expenditures or revenue.
