                             SUMMARY

The following summary is not prepared by the sponsors of the
measure and is not a part of the body thereof subject to
consideration by the Legislative Assembly. It is an editor's
brief statement of the essential features of the measure as
introduced.

  Appropriates moneys from General Fund to Oregon Health
Authority for purposes of operating mobile training unit for
emergency medical technicians.
  Declares emergency, effective on passage.

                        A BILL FOR AN ACT
Relating to administration of public funds; appropriating money;
  and declaring an emergency.
  Whereas much of Oregon relies on volunteer emergency medical
technicians; and
  Whereas vast areas of rural Oregon, some with freeways passing
through and others with popular recreation areas, are served by
volunteer emergency medical technicians; and
  Whereas emergency medical technicians require regular training
to keep their skills updated; and
  Whereas training hundreds of volunteer emergency medical
technicians in rural and frontier counties is difficult because
of the distance to locations offering necessary continuing
education; and
  Whereas the mobile training unit operated by the Emergency
Medical Services and Trauma Systems Program provides required
continuing education for all emergency medical technician
certification levels, provides in-service education for new
skills and medications, provides annual recertification and
instructional development to the Oregon State Police EMS
instructor group, makes it more efficient and affordable to
maintain rural emergency medical services and overcomes the
inability to provide 9-1-1 services due to the lack of adequately
trained and certified emergency medical services personnel; now,
therefore,
Be It Enacted by the People of the State of Oregon:
  SECTION 1.  { + In addition to and not in lieu of any other
appropriation, there is appropriated to the Oregon Health
Authority, for the biennium beginning July 1, 2011, out of the
General Fund, the amount of $300,000, which may be expended for
purposes of operating a mobile training unit for emergency
medical technicians. + }
  SECTION 2.  { + This 2011 Act being necessary for the immediate
preservation of the public peace, health and safety, an emergency
is declared to exist, and this 2011 Act takes effect on its
passage. + }
                         ----------
