A BILL FOR AN ACT
RELATING TO EMERGENCY MEDICAL CARE.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF HAWAII:
SECTION 1. The legislature finds that the closure of the Hawaii Medical Center hospitals continues to jeopardize access to emergency medical care for thousands of people. The city and county of Honolulu emergency medical services division has a greater burden to respond to emergency calls in Ewa Beach and transport patients to emergency rooms elsewhere on Oahu. The increased workload threatens the ability of the division to provide acceptable levels of emergency medical services to the Ewa Beach community.
The purpose of this Act is to appropriate general funds to the department of health to assist the city and county of Honolulu emergency medical services division with expanding emergency medical services and ambulance services in the Ewa Beach community.
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 and the same sum or so much thereof as may be necessary for fiscal year 2014-2015 for the purposes of increasing the on-call availability of emergency medical services and ambulance services in Ewa Beach to twenty-four hours per day.
The sums appropriated shall be expended by the department of health for the purposes of this Act.
SECTION 3. This Act shall take effect on July 1, 2030.
