(1) The Oregon Health Authority, in consultation with the Emergency Medical Services Advisory Board, shall adopt rules specifying minimum requirements for ambulance services, and for staffing and medical and communications equipment requirements for all types of ambulances. The rules must define the requirements for advanced life support and basic life support units of emergency vehicles, including equipment and emergency medical services provider staffing of the passenger compartment when a patient is being transported in emergency circumstances.
(2) The authority may waive any of the requirements imposed by this chapter in medically disadvantaged areas as determined by the Director of the Oregon Health Authority, or upon a showing that a severe hardship would result from enforcing a particular requirement.
(3) The authority shall exempt from rules adopted under this section air ambulances that do not charge for the provision of ambulance services.
