>Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has played a significant role in legitimizing and supporting private Jewish emergency medical services (EMS), particularly Hatzalah of South Florida. In 2021, he signed legislation (CS/HB 805) that recognized Hatzalah as the state's first faith-based emergency response team, allowing it to operate without special licensing requirements and enabling its volunteers to use emergency lights and sirens while responding to emergencies.
This law also prohibited local governments from banning such services or imposing fees and licensing requirements on them.
>More recently, on May 23, 2025, DeSantis signed House Bill 1487 into law, further expanding the role of Hatzalah and similar volunteer EMS groups by formally recognizing them as essential emergency service providers in Florida. The law allows these groups to operate across more counties and display red or red-and-white emergency lights on private vehicles while responding to emergencies. It also emphasized their independence by restricting them from participating in certain state grant programs.
>These legislative actions reflect DeSantis’ broader efforts to support the Jewish community in Florida, including allocating $25 million for the protection of Jewish day schools amid rising antisemitism
, and defining antisemitism in a way aligned with pro-Israel perspectives.
