This concurrent resolution officially recognizes emergency medical services (EMS) personnel as providing essential public services and expresses legislative support for prioritizing EMS funding and staffing. The resolution does not change any existing laws but instead calls attention to challenges like unstable funding and shrinking volunteer workforces in rural areas, while encouraging the state to treat EMS as a critical healthcare service.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
