Establishes a scholarship program for Kentucky students to study paramedic education with a service obligation in coal-producing counties.
The bill establishes the Coal County Paramedic Scholarship Program to provide scholarships for Kentucky students studying to become paramedics. Recipients must agree to render four years of qualified service in a coal-producing county upon program completion. The scholarship amount covers up to 100% of in-state tuition and fees. The program is funded by coal severance tax receipts, with transfers to the scholarship fund based on the prevailing revenue estimate. Failure to meet service obligations results in the total repayment of the scholarship amount plus interest.
