Recently, at the First Responder Caucus, MAA members had the opportunity to thank all legislators for continuing to support pre-hospital care in MS every day and through this legislative session. Several legislators mentioned having heard from their local EMS provider and how much it was appreciated. Pictured are fire, law enforcement, EMS and legislators that attended the meeting.

The MAA appreciates and thanks Lt. Governor Delbert Hosemann, Senate Insurance Chairman Walter Michel, Vice Chairman and our bill manager Senator Mike McLendon and the entire Senate for championing MS EMS this week. See post for more details. (Pictured L to R: Senator and Chairman Insurance Committee Walter Michel, Julia Clarke, President MAA and Senator and Vice Chairman Insurance Committee Mike McLendon)

The MAA and all of our MS ambulance provider members would like to thank the 2024 House of Representatives for passing Bills 1489 and 1629. These bills will now pass to the Senate. We appreciate the Legislature’s support through legislation that make a difference in EMS to the citizens and Ambulance Service Providers.
