    Subdivision 1.    Award payments.  (a) The Emergency 
 Medical Services Regulatory Board or the board's designee under 
 section 144E.40, subdivision 2, shall pay ambulance service 
 personnel longevity awards to qualified ambulance service 
 personnel determined to be entitled to an award under section

 service personnel longevity award are appropriated from the 
 ambulance service personnel longevity award and incentive trust 
 account to the board.  

    (b) If the state of Minnesota is unable to meet its 
 financial obligations as they become due, the board shall 
 undertake all necessary steps to discontinue paying ambulance 
 service personnel longevity awards until the state of Minnesota 
 is again able to meet its financial obligations as they become 
 due. 

    Subd. 2.    General creditors of the state.  The trust 
 account is at all times subject to a levy under an execution of 
 any general creditor of the state of Minnesota, and if no other 
 funds are available to satisfy that levy, the levy has priority 
 for payment from the trust account before any ambulance service 
 personnel longevity award.
