Bill > HB2179

This bill makes several amendments to Arizona Revised Statutes related to emergency medical services, primarily focusing on the inclusion and regulation of air ambulance services. Key provisions include defining "air ambulance" and "air ambulance service" in various sections, extending regulations and licensing requirements to these services, and ensuring that air ambulance attendants are recognized and included in definitions for first responders and other emergency personnel. The bill also clarifies that air ambulance services are subject to similar operational, safety, and insurance requirements as ground ambulances, and it integrates them into existing frameworks for emergency medical services councils, director duties, and investigations of providers. Additionally, it amends provisions related to liability for emergency care, unlawful alien transportation, and victim compensation to encompass air ambulance services and personnel.
