Bill > HB1339

This bill amends North Dakota law to modify the exemptions for licensed ambulance services from rural ambulance service district requirements. Specifically, the bill adds a new exemption for licensed ambulance services that are owned and operated by a hospital, alongside existing exemptions for county-owned, city-owned, joint powers agreement, and tribal or federal government-owned ambulance services. The bill also makes a minor technical change, replacing the phrase "pursuant to" with "under" when referencing existing rural ambulance service districts organized under chapter 11-28.3. The purpose of these exemptions is to provide flexibility for different types of ambulance service providers, ensuring that various ownership models can operate without being required to form a specific rural ambulance service district. This change recognizes that ambulance services can be effectively managed through different organizational structures, such as hospital-owned services, without needing to conform to a standard district formation process.
