Certificate of Inspection Required

(A) No person shall operate, maintain, or otherwise use any aircraft, boat, motor vehicle, or any other means of transportation as an EMS vehicle without a valid certificate of inspection. This applies to temporary replacement or additional ambulances or EFR vehicles an EMS service plans to deploy. (B) Exception. Uncertified vehicles may be used to render emergency medical transportation in the case of a major catastrophe when the number of certified ambulances capable of emergency dispatch in the locality of the catastrophe is insufficient to render the required emergency medical transportation services, pursuant to a statewide mass casualty incident plan.
