§ 144E.29 — Fees

Plain-Language Summary

This section sets the fees that ambulance services and training programs must pay to the Office of Emergency Medical Services. The initial and renewal fee for an ambulance service license is $150, plus $96 per ambulance for a two-year period. Each additional ambulance added during the licensing period costs $96 for the full period or $4 per month. An education program approval costs $100, and duplicates of licenses or approvals cost $25. All fees except the duplicate fee cover two-year periods and are nonrefundable.

Practical Notes
Ambulance services should budget for both the base license fee and per-ambulance fees when renewing their license. Adding vehicles to the fleet mid-cycle triggers an additional prorated per-ambulance fee. All fees are deposited in the state general fund rather than a dedicated EMS fund, meaning they are not earmarked for EMS programs. Fee checks should be submitted with the license or approval application to the Office of Emergency Medical Services.
