SEC. __. STATE PRIORITIZATION OF DISPATCH OF AIR AMBULANCE
SERVICE PROVIDERS.

(a) Authority.--Notwithstanding any other provision of law
or regulation, including section 41713 of title 49, United
States Code, a State may enact or enforce a law, regulation,
or other provision having the force and effect of law that
creates a primary and secondary call list of air ambulance
service providers in the State for distribution to emergency
response entities and personnel to prioritize the dispatch of
air ambulance serve providers. Prioritization may be based
on--

the State; or
(2) participation in mediation for reimbursement of out-of-
network emergency services.
(b) Construction.--Except as specifically provided in
subsection (a), nothing in this section may be construed as
limiting the applicability or otherwise modifying any
aviation safety, aviation operations, or other requirement of
title 49, United States Code.
