§ 7.17.090. Vehicles—Odometer test.  


Latest version.
  • Every ambulette operator making any charges based on mileage shall have the odometer of each ambulette tested and certified annually by the department of agricultural commissioner/weights and measures in accordance with the procedures of that department as defined in Chapter 2.40. In the event that the department of agricultural commissioner/weights and measures does not have the testing equipment available at the time an operator applies for a new or replacement vehicle license, the operator shall register the vehicle with the department of agricultural commissioner/ weights and measures and may obtain a temporary operating authorization from the local EMS agency pending testing by that department. The operator must, however, provide the local EMS agency with a copy of the device registration certificate issued for that vehicle and a certificate of accuracy from a state certified testing agency. Final license approval will be held pending testing and certification by the department of agricultural commissioner/weights and measures. For renewal licenses, the operator shall have odometer retested by the department of agricultural commissioner/weights and measures. A copy of the current paid device registration certificate shall be submitted at the time of license renewal.

    Ambulette operators licensed by the county, whose primary location is outside of Los Angeles County, must comply with the odometer testing requirements of the county of origin, and must provide the local EMS agency with a current copy of that county's certification at time of application for a new ambulette vehicle license, replacement vehicle status, or ambulette license renewal. If the county of origin does not require odometer testing, the operator shall provide a copy of certificate from a state certified agency documenting the accuracy of each vehicle odometer.
