Draft EMS Legislation

Subject: Draft EMS Legislation Now Online

Several bill drafts related to an ongoing legislative study of Montana's emergency medical system are now available online, representing everything from special license plates to tax incentives and an EMS grant program.
The bills were drafted as part of the Senate Joint Resolution 5 study approved by the 2007 Legislature. The Children, Families, Health, and Human Services Interim Committee will take public comment on the bill drafts at a meeting next week. The committee will then decide -- based on public comment and committee preferences -- which bills to proceed with, whether to make any revisions to the existing drafts, and whether to request additional legislation.
The committee meets June 10 and June 11 in Helena, in room 137 of the State Capitol.
The agenda and other meeting materials, including briefing papers on each of the EMS bill drafts, are available on the Committee's Web site. The bills can be viewed online at the Senate Joint Resolution 5 study page for the Children, Families, Health, and Human Services Interim Committee
Committee members will discuss the SJR 5 study and the proposed EMS bill drafts on June 11. Public comment is scheduled for approximately 1:45 p.m.
