Minnesota Sen. Andrew Lang authored a bill that increases reimbursement for emergency services, which passed in the Senate on April 27.
Senate File 3159 will provide a way for Minnesota lawmakers to help address the shortage the state is seeing in emergency personal.
“Finding EMTs, paramedics, and other health care workers to provide ambulance transfers is becoming a significant challenge for many communities, particularly in Greater Minnesota. As we work to find other long-term solutions to this shortage, this is something we can do right now to support these workers on the front lines,” Lang said in a press release. “This bill simply makes sure emergency medical personnel are reimbursed for the costs associated with initial and continuing education."
Lang said this will be the first installment in a series of bills to help address these concerns, according to the release.
