March 20, 2012, Introduced by Rep. MacMaster and referred to the Committee on Judiciary.

 

     A bill to amend 1978 PA 368, entitled

 

"Public health code,"

 

by amending section 20934 (MCL 333.20934), as amended by 2000 PA

THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF MICHIGAN ENACT:

 

     Sec. 20934. (1) A person shall not operate an aircraft

 

transport vehicle unless the vehicle is licensed by the department

 

under this section and is operated as part of a licensed aircraft

 

transport operation.

 

     (2) Upon proper application and payment of a $100.00 fee, the

 

department shall issue an aircraft transport vehicle license or

 

annual renewal to the applicant aircraft transport operation.

 

Receipt of the application by the department serves as attestation

 

to the department by the aircraft transport operation that the

 

vehicle is in compliance with the minimum standards required by the

 

department. The inspection of an aircraft transport vehicle by the

 

department is not required as a basis for licensure renewal, unless

 

otherwise determined by the department.

 

     (3) An aircraft transport operation shall submit an

 

application and required fee to the department for each vehicle in

 

service. Each Except as provided in subsection (6), each

 

application shall include a certificate of insurance for the

 

vehicle in the amount and coverage required by the department.

 

     (4) An aircraft transport vehicle shall be equipped with a

 

communications system utilizing frequencies and procedures

 

consistent with the statewide emergency medical services

 

communications system developed by the department.

 

     (5) An aircraft transport vehicle shall be equipped according

 

to the department's minimum equipment list based upon the level of

 

life support the vehicle and personnel are licensed to provide.

 

     (6) When determining the amount of liability coverage required

 

by the department under subsection (3), an aircraft transport

 

operation that transports patients less than an average of 45 times

 

a year over the 5-year period preceding the date coverage begins,

 

is not required to have more than $2,000,000.00 in liability

 

coverage on each aircraft transport vehicle in that aircraft

 

transport operation.
