SUMMARY

Synopsis of Bill

House Bill 108 appropriates $35,000 from the general fund to the New Mexico Office of Indian Affairs for the purpose of providing emergency medical technician training for fire department personnel and emergency medical technicians at the Pueblo of Santo Domingo.

Significant Issues

Santo Domingo is located in northeastern Sandoval County between the Town of Bernalillo and the Village of Cochiti Lake. Emergency medical technicians from Santo Domingo provide emergency services for the Pueblo and a portion of I-25 serving a population of approximately 10,000 people.

The Santo Domingo emergency service currently has five certified or licensed emergency medical services providers and two trained first responders. According to the Department of Health, the providers perform about 350 transports each year primarily for Pueblo residents. The service receives approximately $5,000 per year from the State Emergency Medical Services Act, however, the appropriation in House Bill 108 would allow the Santo Domingo Pueblo emergency medical service to train additional personnel and provide training for existing personnel.

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS

There would be no financial impact to the Office of Indian Affairs or the Department of Health.
