This bill proposes the creation of a grant program to help ambulance services in Minnesota cover costs related to training new Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs) and staffing their ambulance services. To be eligible for this grant, an ambulance service must be licensed and have had at least 50% of its staffing provided by EMTs in the previous year. The grant can be used for expenses such as tuition for EMT education programs, EMT certification examination fees, background checks for new EMT employees, and wage and benefit costs for employees while attending training programs. The maximum amount of the grant will be determined based on the actual costs incurred but cannot exceed the required expenses. The bill also includes a provision for oversight to ensure effective use of the grant. It allocates a total of $1.5 million over two years for this program.
