                       74th Regular Session

                          March 21, 1995



 TO:     Honorable Hugo Berlanga, Chair         IN RE:  House Bill No. 1432
         Committee on Public Health                     By: Berlanga
         House of Representatives
         Austin, Texas






FROM: John Keel, Director

In response to your request for a Fiscal Note on House Bill No.
1432 (Relating to the staffing of certain emergency medical
services vehicles.) this office has determined the following:

The bill would require emergency medical services vehicles to be
staffed by at least two individuals certified as emergency
medical technicians.  This would require a change in level of
staffing, which would have fiscal implications for units of local
government operating emergency medical services units.  However,
the fiscal implications to local governments cannot be
determined.

The bill would take effect September 1, 2000.


No fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
