SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Distribution of the "four for life" fund. Revises the formula for distribution of the $4 per year that is charged and collected for registration of motor vehicles by shifting the funds as follows: a reduction of the amount distributed to the Virginia Association of Volunteer Rescue Squads from two and one-half percent to one and one-half percent; an increase of the amount distributed to the State Department of Health to support various programs, training, and other activities from 13 and one-half percent to 30 percent; an increase in the amount distributed to the Rescue Squad Assistance Fund from 31 and three quarters percent to 32 percent; a reduction of the amount available to the State Department of Health for use in emergency medical services from 27 and one-quarter percent to 10 percent; and an increase of the amount returned by the Comptroller to localities from 25 percent to 26 and one-half percent. The State Department of Health's support activities are expanded to include emergency medical services system development initiatives, and priorities based on needs identified by the State Emergency Medical Services Advisory Board; local, regional, and statewide performance contracts for emergency medical services to meet certain objectives set out in statutory law; technology and radio communication enhancements; and improved emergency preparedness and response.
