§ 144E.12 — Licensure of Air Ambulance Services

Plain-Language Summary

This section covers licensing for air ambulance services (helicopter and fixed-wing). Air ambulance services follow a simpler application process than ground ambulances. They do not need to go through the full public comment and hearing process, and they do not need a designated primary service area.

Practical Notes
Air ambulance services still need a state license and must meet all equipment, personnel, and inspection requirements. They must also comply with federal aviation rules and state aeronautics rules. The key difference from ground ambulance licensing is the simplified application process and no assigned service area.
