§ 7.3-1. Authority, purpose and scope.  

Latest version.

  • (a)

    The purpose of this chapter is to promote the health, safety, and welfare of residents of Clay County in need of emergency medical services by establishing standards for issuing certificates of public convenience and necessity for emergency and nonemergency non-transport and transport prehospital services, advanced life support services, basic life support services, emergency interfacility medical transport services, and nonemergency interfacility medical transport. This chapter shall apply and be in force within the incorporated and unincorporated areas of Clay County, Florida, and is promulgated pursuant to Chapter 401, Florida Statutes.

    (b)

    The board specifically intends that Clay County Fire Rescue shall be responsible for providing emergency and nonemergency prehospital advanced life support and basic life support non transport and transport services within the county.

    (c)

    The role of private or municipal advanced life support and basic life support services within the county shall be to provide, on request, emergency or nonemergency interfacility transport or transport services, interfacility neonatal critical care transport, and emergency or nonemergency organ/blood transport, including the transport of transplant teams. All certificate holders shall be capable of emergency response and service upon request by the board or the fire chief in case of disaster or other event requiring such services which is beyond the normal capabilities of the county. Nothing contained herein shall be interpreted to limit the ability of a private ambulance company or municipality holding the proper certificate of public convenience and necessity issued by the board from providing stand-by services and transport from a scheduled event.

    (d)

    References in this chapter to Florida Statutes or the Florida Administrative Code shall include all amendments thereto which may occur from time to time.
