Bill > HF2736

This bill makes several key changes to the requirements for licensure and license renewal of ambulance services in Minnesota: 1. It requires ambulance services to obtain a permit from the municipality(ies) in their primary service area in order to provide services, and establishes a process for municipalities to issue these permits. 2. It directs the Emergency Medical Services Regulatory Board (the board) to modify the boundaries of primary service areas to align with either the boundaries of special taxing districts for emergency medical services or the boundaries of municipalities. 3. It requires the board to establish performance standards for ambulance services, including quality assurance metrics, and requires ambulance services to collect and report data on their compliance with these standards to municipalities and the board. 4. It changes the license renewal process, including requiring ambulance services to submit a report on their compliance with performance standards when applying for license renewal, and giving the board authority to deny license renewal based on the service's performance. 5. It prohibits the transfer of an ambulance service license to another party, and requires a new license application if there is a change in the ownership or provider of the ambulance service.
