    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 144E.46 by the board based on the submissions by the various ambulance services.
Amounts necessary to pay the ambulance 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.
