eplaces everything after the enacting clause. Reinserts the provisions of the engrossed bill with the following changes. Updates the text of the underlying bill. In provisions about charges for ambulance service, restores language requiring a fee charged to be computed at a rate not to exceed $250 per hour and not to exceed $70 per hour per ambulance worker responding to a call for assistance, but limits the provisions to apply to an individual patient and not to a third-party payer. Provides that a third-party payer shall pay the reasonable cost of the services rendered by the district. Defines "third-party payer". Provides that an additional fee may be charged to reimburse the district for documented extraordinary expenses (rather than for extraordinary expenses of materials used) in rendering ambulance services up to the reasonable cost of the materials, personnel, and operating costs. Limits some of the changes to apply only to counties outside of Cook County, DuPage County, Kane County, Lake County, McHenry County, and Will County. Effective immediately.
