Enrolled Bill Summary

Senate Bill 1131 amends the Code of Criminal Procedure to establish an additional $100 fine for intoxication-related offenses, with the money to be used to fund emergency medical services, trauma facilities, and trauma care systems. The bill amends the Health and Safety Code to establish an account in general revenue for emergency medical services, trauma facilities, and trauma care systems and combines the administration of the account with the administration of an account funded by the 9-1-1 equalization surcharge. It changes requirements relating to the administration of the accounts, changes limits on reserve amounts and disbursements that are required to be made from the accounts, and specifies that designated trauma facilities are eligible for payments from the account created by the 9-1-1 equalization surcharge.
