Lavaca County backs resolution supporting state bills to fund rural EMS
Summary
Lavaca County Commissioners voted unanimously March 25 to adopt a resolution supporting Senate Bill 1377 and House Bill 3000, measures county leaders said would provide critical funding to sustain rural emergency medical services.
Lavaca County Commissioners voted unanimously March 25 to adopt a resolution endorsing Senate Bill 1377 and House Bill 3000, legislative proposals the county said would provide critical funding for rural emergency medical services.
Michael Furrh, Lavaca County EMS director, addressed the court in support of the resolution. Commissioner Wayne Faircloth moved to approve the resolution; Commissioner Edward Pustka seconded, and the motion passed with all members voting yes.
The resolution does not itself change county policy but is a formal statement urging the Texas Legislature to provide the funding provisions described in the bills. The court made the vote as part of its regular agenda; no amendment to the resolution was recorded.
The court took no additional, separate funding action at the meeting. Next procedural steps on the bills themselves will depend on action at the state Legislature.
