CSAC supports the sunset extension for local Maddy Emergency
Medical Services Funds (Maddy Funds). Senator Richard Roth has
introduced SB 867, which would remove the sunset date to continue
to assist hospitals and emergency physicians with the costs of
treating uninsured patients, support local emergency services,
and contribute to pediatric trauma care.
CSAC has supported Maddy Fund bills in the past, and SB 867,
which is sponsored by the California Chapter of the American
College of Emergency Physicians (California ACEP), is especially
helpful in that it would permanently remove the sunset date for
Maddy Funds.
The Senate Public Safety Committee will hear SB 867 on April
5.
