Notice of Proposed Rule

Department:

DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH

Division:

Division of Environmental Health

Chapter:

EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES

Overview

RULE:

64E-2.007	Vehicle Permits (Transferred)
64E-2.008	Emergency Medical Technician (Transferred)
64E-2.009	Paramedic (Transferred)
64E-2.0094	Voluntary Inactive Certification (Transferred)

PURPOSE:

Currently, Section 401.23(5), F.S. includes the term water vehicle in the definition of ambulance. The rule change for Rule 64E-2007, F.A.C. clarifies the definition of water vehicles and outlines the reasons that they are not transport vehicles or advanced life support transport vehicles.
Currently, Emergency Medical Technicians and Paramedics have to submit separate applications to the Department in order to take the examination. The amended rule will combine the Emergency Medical Technician application for examination and the Paramedic application for examination into one application. Revisions have been made to facilitate online applications. Online applications will streamline the application process and allow these individuals to obtain their approvals in a more efficient manner. 
The application for approval of an Emergency Medical Services Training Program has been revised to correct grammatical errors and allow for the standardization with the National Standard Curricula.

SUMMARY:

The amended rule offers clarification to the term “water vehicle” as it relates to vehicle permits. The amended rule includes reference to current forms with revision dates.
