WASHINGTON — A House of Delegates study panel is moving closer to calling for continued state police control over Maryland’s medevac fleet, according to a draft report obtained yesterday by The Baltimore Sun.
The draft report also endorses replacing the state’s aging fleet with three new $20 million aircraft a year, starting next year.
House Speaker Michael E. Busch called the draft report “absolutely” premature yesterday and said it was an early step in a broad assessment of the state’s emergency medical services system.
