Mich. Admin. Code R. 325.22190 - Life support vehicles; licensure and relicensure inspections; new and replacement vehicles; licensure at higher level of care

Rule 190. Life support vehicles must be inspected as follows:

(a) The department may conduct random renewal inspections of life support vehicles, including medical first response vehicles. Inspections are unannounced unless circumstances warrant notifying a life support agency in advance that an inspection of its life support vehicles will be conducted. The department shall determine if prior notification of an inspection is warranted. A vehicle license may be renewed without an inspection.

(b) Submission of a licensure renewal application is considered an attestation by the life support agency that the vehicle meets all licensure requirements.

(c) A life support agency that is adding a new or higher licensure level for a life support vehicle shall submit an application, on forms provided by the department, and include the required fee. New and higher level of care vehicles must be inspected before being placed into service. Upon receipt of the application and required fee, the department shall inspect new or upgrade vehicles within 15 days after receipt of the application.

(d) A life support agency that is replacing a life support vehicle shall submit an application, on forms provided by the department, and include the required fee. A replacement vehicle means a life support agency has removed a vehicle from service and has replaced the vehicle with another.

(e) Replacement vehicles may be placed into service upon submission of an application and the required fee to the department. Upon receipt of the application and required fee, the department shall inspect the replacement vehicle within 15 days after receipt of the application.

(f) With written notification in a format specified by the department, a rotary ambulance back-up vehicle may be put into service for 30 days before it must comply with subdivisions (a) to (e) of this rule.
