Explanation
The bill, which requires the Emergency Medical Services Advisory
Board within the Department of Public Health (DPH) to provide a
report, by 1/1/24 and annually thereafter, that includes an evaluation
of trends and patterns of risk affecting Emergency Medical Services
(EMS) and identifies areas of Connecticut that are at risk of receiving
delayed EMS, results in a cost to DPH of $32,106 in FY 24 and $32,908,
and a cost for fringe benefits of $13,748 in FY 24 and $14,091 in FY 25.
Costs reflect support for a half-time Epidemiologist I in DPH's Office of
EMS to provide the required evaluation and report.
The Out Years
The annualized ongoing fiscal impact identified above would
continue into the future subject to inflation.

The fringe benefit costs for most state employees are budgeted centrally in accounts
administered by the Comptroller. The estimated active employee fringe benefit cost
associated with most personnel changes is 42.82% of payroll in FY 24.
