health, safety, and welfare, the General Assembly does hereby allow cities and
counties to contract with private persons, partnerships, or corporations for providing
ambulance service to the residents of such cities and counties subject to the
following conditions:
(1) These contracts must be in writing and must be approved by the city council or
board of aldermen if a city is party thereto, or by the fiscal court in case a
county is party thereto.
(2) No contract shall be made with an ambulance service or other organization or
person unless the contract shall stipulate that at least one (1) person on each
ambulance run shall possess currently valid emergency medical technician
certification.
(3) All contracts made with any ambulance service or other organization or person
shall stipulate that all vehicles used for operation of the service comply with
vehicle and equipment administrative regulations issued by the Cabinet for
Health and Family Services.
(4) All contracts shall include the stipulation that at least two (2) trained persons,
one (1) driver and one (1) attendant, shall be carried on each ambulance for
each ambulance call which is covered by the contract.
(5) No contract shall be made for a period of time greater than one (1) year.
(6) The vehicle, equipment, training, and personnel requirements of subsections
(2), (3), and (4) of this section shall also apply to the operation of an
ambulance service by a city or a county or by a city and a county jointly.
(7) No provisions of this section shall be construed as to limit the power of any city
or county to contract for or operate ambulance services under requirements
which are stricter than those of this section, or to require insurance, or bonding
of contractors, provided these provisions are not in conflict with the
requirements of this section.
