HB4346

West Virginia HB4346 mandates counties to provide ambulance services at a ratio of one ambulance service per 18,000 residents.

West Virginia HB4346 amends the Code of West Virginia to require county commissions to provide emergency ambulance services at a rate of one ambulance service for every 18,000 residents. This requirement applies unless the commission determines that funds are available for this purpose. The county commission can provide these services directly or through various means, including private enterprise, contracting, or creating an authority. Such authorities, if created, will be public corporations with perpetual existence.
