1797.108
. Subject to the availability of funds appropriated
therefor, the authority may contract with local EMS agencies to
provide funding assistance to those agencies for planning,
organizing, implementing, and maintaining regional emergency medical
services systems.
In addition, the authority may provide special funding to
multicounty EMS agencies which serve rural areas with extensive
tourism, as determined by the authority, to reduce the burden on the
rural EMS agency of providing the increased emergency medical
services required due to that tourism.
Each local or multicounty EMS agency receiving funding pursuant to
this section shall make a quarterly report to the authority on the
functioning of the local EMS system. The authority may continue to
transfer appropriated funds to the local EMS agency upon satisfactory
operation.
