House Bill No. 2793 proposes an appropriation of Eight Million Dollars ($8,000,000.00) from the Progressing Rural Economic Prosperity Fund to the Emergency Medicine Revolving Fund. This new section of law will not be codified in the Oklahoma Statutes, indicating that it is a temporary measure rather than a permanent addition to the legal code. The bill outlines the source of the funds and establishes the amount to be allocated to support emergency medical services.
The bill is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, and includes a declaration of emergency, which allows it to be enacted immediately upon passage and approval. This urgency underscores the importance of the funding for public health and safety in Oklahoma. The bill has been reported favorably by the Joint Committee on Appropriations and Budget, indicating legislative support for the measure.
