B. The bureau shall administer the fund and provide for the distribution of the fund pursuant to the Emergency Medical Services Fund Act and rules adopted pursuant to the provisions of that act. C. In any fiscal year, no less than seventy-five percent of the money in the fund shall be used for the local emergency medical services funding program to support the cost of supplies and equipment and operational costs other than salaries and benefits for emergency medical services personnel. This money shall be distributed to municipalities and counties on behalf of eligible local recipients, using a formula established pursuant to rules adopted by the department. The formula shall determine each municipality's and county's share of the fund based on the relative geographic size and population of each county. The formula shall also base the distribution of money for each municipality and county on the relative number of runs of each local recipient eligible to participate in the distribution. D. In any fiscal year, no more than: (1) twenty-two percent of the fund may be used for emergency medical services system improvement projects, including the purchase of emergency medical services vehicles, local and statewide emergency medical services system support projects, the statewide trauma care system program and the emergency medical dispatch agency support program; and (2) three percent of the fund may be used by the bureau for administrative costs, including monitoring and providing technical assistance. E. The state treasurer is authorized to redirect a distribution to the New Mexico finance authority to make loans for purchases authorized pursuant to the Emergency Medical Services Fund Act and by ordinance or resolution passed by the municipality or county and a written agreement of the municipality or county and the New Mexico finance authority.
