This bill aims to make the paramedic scholarship program in Minnesota permanent by removing its expiration date (previously set for June 30, 2026). It amends existing laws to continue providing up to 600 scholarships annually for students entering paramedic programs. The bill also mandates annual reports on the program's effectiveness and related data. Additionally, it appropriates $3.2 million per year for fiscal years 2026 and 2027 to fund scholarships, promotional efforts, and program administration.
