Summary:

Existing law, the Emergency Medical Services System and Prehospital Emergency Medical Care Personnel Act (EMS act), establishes the Emergency Medical Services Authority within the California Health and Human Services Agency to, among other things, provide statewide coordination of county EMS programs, and to administer the Trauma Care Fund. This bill would delete from the criteria for local distribution of those funds consideration of whether the acquisition is demonstrated to be essential for trauma services within a specified hospital and whether coordination or payment of prescribed care and transportation services may be provided as necessary without undue delay. This bill contains other related provisions and other existing laws.
