HI HB1107

Appropriates unspecified amounts from general revenues for fiscal years 2026-2027 and 2027-2028 to four counties (Honolulu, Maui, Hawaii, and Kauai) to increase access to emergency aeromedical services, excluding Kalawao County

Deposits additional unspecified funds into the emergency medical services special fund to establish and operate emergency aeromedical services, including helicopter procurement

Addresses the overburdened aeromedical system that currently relies on only one statewide provider, leaving rural communities with limited emergency transport options

Models expansion on Maui County's medevac service, where the Department of Health cost-shares a helicopter with the county and contracts with a private entity for staffing and operations

Takes effect July 1, 2025
