Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024

					 transport patients unless staffed by both a certificated driver and a qualified
					 attendant, maintained in good mechanical repair and sanitary condition, and
					 equipped as required by this article and the Vehicle Code.
(a) Driver Certificate Exemption.
In addition to the exemptions stated in Vehicle Code
					 section
					 12527(f),
					 ambulance driver certificates are notrequired for persons driving ambulances,
					 based out-of-state, into California to provide only interstate emergency
					 service, if the drivers are appropriately licensed or certified by the state of
					 origin. However, if the department has reason to believe an out-of-state driver
					 would be denied an ambulance driver certificate if based in California, that
					 driver may be prohibited from driving in this state unless he/she obtains an
					 ambulance driver certificate.
(b) Medical Training Prerequisite.
Ambulances shall not respond to emergency calls or
					 transport patients unless the attendant--or the driver, if the service has been
					 exempted from the requirement to have an attendant--possesses a certificate or
					 license evidencing compliance with the emergency medical training and
					 educational standards for ambulance personnel established by the State
					 Emergency Medical Service Authority in title 22 of this code. This requirement
					 shall not apply during a "state of war emergency," duly proclaimed "state of
					 emergency," or "local emergency," as defined in Government Code section
					 8558, when
					 it is necessary to fully utilize all available ambulances in an area and it is
					 not possible to have such ambulances operated or attended by persons with the
					 qualifications required by this section.
