Emergency medical services; declaring emergency medical services to be essential services for certain purpose. Emergency.

SB 206 amends Oklahoma law to declare that emergency medical services (EMS) provided by public entities - such as municipalities, counties, ambulance districts, or other public agencies - are "essential services" **solely for the purpose of federal funding eligibility**. This change specifically affects local governments and public EMS providers seeking federal grants or support. The bill does not alter how EMS services are delivered or funded operationally, but clarifies their status to meet federal requirements. It is a procedural adjustment with no direct impact on patient care or service standards.
