MINOR

The bill was finalized for signature, and the text was updated to clarify that the 10% funding requirement applies specifically to payments from private insurers rather than all sources. Additionally, the law now explicitly excludes funds from public health programs like Medicaid and Medicare, as well as liability settlements and excess insurance payments, from this mandate.

Scope change

The scope of the funding requirement was narrowed to apply only to direct payments from private insurers, excluding public funding sources and legal settlements.

ELIGIBILITY

The requirement to set aside 10% of funds now applies only to money received from private insurers, removing the previous ambiguity about whether all funds were included.

EXEMPTIONS

New exemptions were added to exclude funds from public health programs (Medicaid and Medicare), liability claim reimbursements, and payments from excess insurers or self-insurance reserves.

REQUIREMENT

The language regarding how the funds can be used was tightened to specify that the set-aside funds can only be used for purchasing or maintaining emergency vehicles.
