A BILL FOR AN ACT
RELATING TO EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF HAWAII:
SECTION 1. The legislature finds that with the relocation of Honolulu fire department engine twenty-four, which services Ewa Beach, its response times to certain areas may be lengthened. The legislature also finds that the prior location of engine twenty-four is ideal for an ambulance service. By triangulating first responders and emergency medical services, the Ewa Beach area will realize improved access to emergency medical care and ambulance services.
The legislature further finds that Makalei area is presently without an ambulance service and that providing ambulance services is essential to providing life-saving medical response services to West Hawaii.
The purpose of this Act is to appropriate general funds:
(1) To the department of health to demolish the Ewa Beach fire facility and construct an energy-efficient and environmentally-sustainable emergency medical services facility at the same location; and
(2) For an ambulance service to be located at the Makalei fire station.
SECTION 2. There is appropriated out of the general revenues of the State of Hawaii the sum of $ or so much thereof as may be necessary for fiscal year 2013-2014 for the demolition of the Ewa Beach fire station on TMK 9-1-025-062 and the construction of an energy-efficient and environmentally-sustainable emergency medical services facility at the same location.
The sum appropriated shall be expended by the department of health for the purposes of this Act.
SECTION 3. There is appropriated out of the general revenues of the State of Hawaii the sum of $500,000 or so much thereof as may be necessary for fiscal year 2013-2014 and the same sum or so much thereof as may be necessary for fiscal year 2014-2015 for the establishment of an ambulance service at the Makalei fire station.
The sums appropriated shall be expended by the department of health for the purposes of this Act.
SECTION 4. This Act shall take effect on July 1, 2050.
