Onetime aid program for certain licensed ambulance services establishment and appropriation

This bill creates a one-time financial aid program for licensed ambulance service providers in Minnesota to help cover costs for long-term assets like vehicles and equipment. To qualify, providers must have held a license in 2022 and continue operating in 2024, while excluding certain large corporate entities that serve major cities and specialized life support services. The amount of aid each provider receives is calculated based on the number of emergency calls they handled in 2023 relative to the size of their service area. Providers must submit financial applications by September 2024, after which the state will verify their data and distribute the funds.
