relative to reimbursement for ambulance services under the state Medicaid plan and making an appropriation therefor.

Maddy summaryThis bill authorizes Medicaid reimbursement for ambulance services when emergency responders provide care at a patient's home or on the scene without transporting them to a hospital. To qualify for payment, providers must document that the response was triggered by an emergency call and that the patient either refused transport, was deemed stable for community care, or died after resuscitation efforts were stopped. The legislation includes a $500,000 appropriation to the Department of Health and Human Services to fund these reimbursements, with the specific Medicaid rule changes taking effect only after federal approval.

relative to special number plates for surviving spouses of veterans.

Maddy summaryThis bill authorizes the issuance of special number plates for surviving spouses of veterans who have passed away, allowing them to keep the license plates indefinitely until they remarry. The legislation amends existing laws to ensure that these plates, originally designated for veterans, can be transferred to a spouse without requiring a new application or fee upon the veteran's death. Additionally, the bill extends similar permanent rights to the surviving spouses of retired National Guard members and active-duty service members who qualify as veterans. These changes aim to provide a seamless transition for families while maintaining the requirement that the plates are non-transferable to anyone other than the eligible spouse.
