WV SB925

Requires the Office of Emergency Medical Services to conduct statewide needs-based assessments of EMS agencies every two years, with the first assessment due within one year of passage

Assessments must evaluate call volume, response times, ambulance and personnel availability, financial stability, geographic challenges, mutual aid agreements, and equipment/training deficiencies

Establishes a funding distribution formula that prioritizes EMS agencies with high call volumes, slow response times, financial instability, personnel shortages, insufficient equipment, or coverage gaps in rural and underserved areas

Protects EMS providers from funding reductions unless justified by assessment findings and alternative funding availability

Mandates biennial reports to the Legislature detailing assessment results, funding allocations, service improvements and deficiencies, and policy recommendations for review by the Joint Committee on Government and Finance
