135.25 EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES FUND.
An emergency medical services fund is created in the state
treasury under the control of the department. The fund includes, but
is not limited to, amounts appropriated by the general assembly, and
other moneys available from federal or private sources which are to
be used for purposes of this section. Funds remaining in the fund at
the end of each fiscal year shall not revert to the general fund of
the state but shall remain in the emergency medical services fund,
notwithstanding section 8.33. The fund is established to assist
counties by matching, on a dollar-for-dollar basis, moneys spent by a
county for the acquisition of equipment for the provision of
emergency medical services and by providing grants to counties for
education and training in the delivery of emergency medical services,
as provided in this section and section 422D.6. A county seeking
matching funds under this section shall apply to the emergency
medical services division of the department. The department shall
adopt rules concerning the application and awarding process for the
matching funds and the criteria for the allocation of moneys in the
fund if the moneys are insufficient to meet the emergency medical
services needs of the counties. Moneys allocated by the department
to a county for emergency medical services purposes may be used for
equipment or training and education as determined by the board of
supervisors pursuant to section 422D.6. Section History: Recent Form
