Education (Public Safety)

Provides that 10% of the excess property tax proceeds collected in an allocation area must be allocated among school corporations, libraries, and taxing units that provide police services, fire protection, emergency medical service, or public safety services in the allocation area.

HB 1060 exempts state educational institution degree programs focused on emergency medical services (EMS) from a specific elimination provision that would otherwise remove such programs. This bill directly affects public colleges and universities offering EMS training by preventing them from being cut under the referenced rule. The key mechanism is a targeted exemption within the elimination provision, ensuring these critical training programs remain available. The bill aims to maintain educational pathways for future EMS professionals without altering broader state education funding. (Note: The specific elimination provision referenced is not detailed in the provided context.)
