(1)These contracts must be in writing and must be approved by the legislative body of
the city 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 four
(4)years.
(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.
