The director of the department of health services or his or her duly authorized designee
shall not grant or issue an ambulance vehicle license for any ground ambulance which
at the time of application is more than eight years old as defined by the initial
date the vehicle was first put into service, provided that the date is not greater
than one year from the date of its manufacture.
However, the director of the department of health services or his or her duly authorized
designee may make individual exceptions to the eight-year-old age limitation where
the public convenience and necessity would be served, provided that the vehicle meets
all other inspection requirements for licensure.
