Coast Life Support District Act: urgent medical care services.

Existing law, the Coast Life Support District Act, establishes the Coast Life Support District and specifies the powers of the district. The district is authorized, among other things, to supply the inhabitants of the district emergency medical services, as specified. This bill would additionally authorize the district to provide urgent medical care services. Existing law, the Cortese-Knox-Hertzberg Local Government Reorganization Act of 2000, formerly known as the Cortese-Knox Local Government Reorganization Act of 1985, among other things, establishes procedures for consideration of a proposal for change of organization, which is defined to include a proposal for the exercise of new or different functions or classes of services, or the divestiture of the power to provide particular functions or classes of services, within all or part of the jurisdictional boundaries of a special district. The Coast Life Support District Act requires the Cortese-Knox Local Government Reorganization Act of 1985 to govern any change of organization of the district following its formation. This bill would update Coast Life Support District Act's reference to the Cortese-Knox Local Government Reorganization Act of 1985 to instead reference the Cortese-Knox-Hertzberg Local Government Reorganization Act of 2000, and would, if the board of directors of the Coast Life Support District desires to exercise the power to provide urgent medical care services, require the board to first receive the approval of the local agency formation commission. This bill would make legislative findings and declarations as to the necessity of a special statute for the Coast Life Support District.
