南达科他州不会让环管系统变得至关重要, 而是选择成立一个工作队来研究农村救护车经费及可持续性。 South Dakota won’t make EMS essential, opting instead for a task force to study rural ambulance funding and sustainability.

南达科他州立法者选择不指定紧急医疗服务为必要服务,取消了地方政府保障获得医疗服务的要求。 South Dakota lawmakers have opted not to designate emergency medical services as essential, removing a requirement for local governments to guarantee access. 相反,一项新法案成立了一个工作队,研究农村救护车服务的供资和可持续性挑战,在这些地方,自愿紧急救护队正在老龄化,人员短缺,反应时间往往超过20分钟。 Instead, a new bill creates a task force to study funding and sustainability challenges in rural ambulance services, where volunteer EMTs are aging, staffing is scarce, and response times often exceed 20 minutes. 虽然众议院通过了允许非环管队驾驶员和扩大医务人员作用的相关法案,但没有任何供资计划支持基本服务的指定。 While related bills to allow non-EMT drivers and expanded roles for medical personnel have passed the House, no funding plan exists to support an essential service designation. 法案现提交参议院全体议员进一步辩论。 The bill now moves to the full Senate for further debate.
