Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

2 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 0 costs, 1 mixed.

More time for ambulance program deadlines

Covered ambulance providers now have 45 calendar days, not 30 business days, to meet the filing deadline. The law also moves a key program date from June 30, 2025 to June 30, 2026, giving one more year. These changes take effect now.

Broader state access to ambulance data

The Office of Emergency Services must give the state health commissioner full access to ambulance run reports. The commissioner can share these reports and other requested data with the bureau to keep the assessment program in line with state and federal law. This can include reports with protected health information. This authority applies despite earlier state privacy limits. The law takes effect now.
