Designates emergency medical services as an essential county purpose in Iowa.
The bill amends the definition of "essential county purpose" to include emergency medical services. This change allows county boards of supervisors to contract indebtedness and approve the issuance of general obligation bonds for emergency medical services without voter approval, unlike general county purposes which require such approval. The bill specifies that funding and refunding of emergency medical services, as defined in section 147A.1, subsection 5, is now considered an essential county purpose.
