西弗吉尼亚州每年从彩票基金中拨款12M元给环管系统,其中1M元用于工人心理健康,需要县级匹配和优先处理高需求地区。 West Virginia allocates $12M yearly from lottery funds to EMS, with $1M for worker mental health, requiring county matches and prioritizing high-need areas.

西弗吉尼亚州通过了众议院第5168号法案,每年从彩票利润中拨款1 200万美元,用于支持紧急医疗服务,使应急管理系统资金与消防部门方案保持一致。 West Virginia has passed House Bill 5168, allocating $12 million annually from lottery profits to support emergency medical services, aligning EMS funding with fire department formulas. 在600万美元的基金中,头100万美元必须用于为环管系统工人提供精神保健。 Of a $6 million fund, the first $1 million must go toward mental health care for EMS workers. 各州必须匹配国家资金,分配应优先考虑需求高、征收特殊税、最高税率和因州际竞争造成人员短缺的领域。 Counties must match state funds, and distribution prioritizes areas with high need, special levies, maximum levy rates, and staffing shortages due to interstate competition. 双方的立法者都赞扬两党措施,认为这是农村社区的一个关键步骤,在这些社区中,环管系统往往是唯一的医疗渠道,尽管有些与会者指出资金仍然不足。 Lawmakers from both parties hailed the bipartisan measure as a crucial step for rural communities where EMS is often the only medical access, though some noted funding remains inadequate. 法案现在转到参议院。 The bill now moves to the Senate.
