Question for the masses -- how much is EMS getting from this fund as opposed to

the hospitals?

From: Dinah Welsh

Rep. Sylvester (D-Houston) has filed an amendment that would

repeal the entire Driver Responsibility Program. The amendment has been

pre-filed for the Department of Public Safety Sunset bill (HB 2730),

which is on the House Calendar for today. Please make contact with your

House member NOW to explain the damage this amendment would do to the

trauma and emergency health care system if it is passed!

Additionally, Rep. Yvonne -Toureilles (D-Alice) has filed an

amendment that is identical to HB 454, which was a $30M impact to DRP.

This amendment would not require a person who has paid the DRP surcharge

for 12 months or completed a driver safety course to pay the remainder

of the surcharge. Ask your House member to oppose this amendment as

well.

If you have questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Regards,

Way to go group!!! I just called the office for my representative. They were

happy to take the information, and " pass it along " . The lady that answered

the phone stated EMS had a big turnout this week, and that was one of the

groups that caught her attention.
