Explanation

(This amendment adds $6.0 million from the general fund in the second year for grants to Emergency Medical Services organizations to replace equipment such has heart monitors/defibrillators, cots, loading systems, ventilators, etc. Currently the Code of Virginia only allows governmental, volunteer and non-profit EMS agencies to purchase EMS equipment and vehicles and provide the needed EMS programs and training through dedicated funding sources. This additional funding would allow for more EMS organizations to receive needed replacement equipment. It is the intent of the General Assembly that this item shall be set out entirely during enrolling.)
