Emergency Medical Services and Trauma Rules
The N.C. Medical Care Commission is proposing these rule adoptions to support the growth in the EMS industry and changes that have occurred with national EMS standards. Minimum manufacturing standards are being established for ground ambulance vehicles used for the transport of emergent and non-emergent patients in North Carolina to ensure ambulances operating in the State are safe and reliable. Medical oversight criteria for air medical programs in North Carolina are being clarified to abide by the terms of a federal court injunction involving the regulation of air medical programs. These rule adoptions will benefit the quality of care and safety provided to the citizens of North Carolina.

- Procedure for subjecting a proposed rule to Legislative Review: If an objection is not resolved prior to the adoption of the rule, a person may also submit written objections to the Rules Review Commission. If the Rules Review Commission receives written and signed objections in accordance with G.S. 150B-21.3(b2) from 10 or more persons clearly requesting review by the legislature and the Rules Review Commission approves the rule, the rule will become effective as provided in G.S. 150B-21.3(b1). The Commission will receive written objections until 5:00 p.m. on the day following the day the Commission approves the rule. The Commission will receive those objections by mail, delivery service, hand delivery, or facsimile transmission.
