Senate Majority Office Press Release
SB 09-002 passes the Senate
DENVER— Monday morning, the Senate passed SB 002 which will create more EMT jobs, while at the same time increasing EMT readiness in rural parts of the state. The bill passed by a vote of 23-12.
“I am thrilled the Senate voted to pass this bill,” said Senator John Morse (D-Colorado Springs). “This is a very important bill which will create more than 100 jobs in much needed areas of the state and will cut down response time for people in emergencies. We need to get people to work and we need to make sure every single Coloradan is safe and protected. SB 2 will help do just that.”
Senator John Morse (D-Colorado Springs) sponsored SB-2 which will create 125 jobs in rural areas in Colorado in the area of emergency medical and trauma services. Not only will this bill create jobs, it will also cut down on emergency response time and increase availability of emergency services to rural communities. The nominal $1 addition to vehicle registration will expand financial and technical support to rural and underdeveloped EMS systems, doubling grant funding for EMS systems focusing on hiring people.
This bill will now be head to the House.
