FIVE-YEAR NOTICE OF REVIEW AND STATEMENT OF CONTINUATION

NOTICE OF REVIEW AND STATEMENT OF CONTINUATION

Concise explanation of the particular statutory provisions under which the rule is enacted and how these provisions authorize or require the rule:

The EMS Systems Act, Section 26-8a-207, authorizes the department to distribute 42-1/2% of the monies it receives from the Criminal Fines and Forfeitures for use as per capita block grants for use specifically to nonprofit prehospital emergency medical services providers.

Summary of written comments received during and since the last five-year review of the rule from interested persons supporting or opposing the rule:

No written comments have been received.

Reasoned justification for continuation of the rule, including reasons why the agency disagrees with comments in opposition to the rule, if any:

The rule provides guidelines for the equitable distribution of per capita grant funds specified under the Emergency Medical Services Grants Program. If the rule was not in place, there would not be equitable distribution of the per capita funds and the entire amount of per capita funds would go to each county, which would mean the county would have no guidelines on how to distribute the monies. Therefore, this rule should be continued.
