AZ HB2634

Requires ambulance services to file separate audited financial statements for each distinct certificate of necessity within 180 days of fiscal year completion, effective January 1, 2015.

Establishes a new hearing process for certificates of necessity that limits hearings to the director's recommendations and objections from current ambulance service holders, AHCCCS, and affected local governments, with final determinations due within 60 days of the hearing.

Allows temporary authority for ambulance services to be renewed for up to 90 additional days after a public hearing, instead of prohibiting renewal entirely.

Changes the requirement that ambulances responding to 911 calls be staffed with at least one ALS-certified attendant (previously required two attendants with one ALS-certified) and requires one basic life support attendant (previously required two).

Appropriates $150,000 from the emergency medical services operating fund for a study on how other states regulate EMS and the viability of competitive bidding in metropolitan areas, with results due by November 1, 2015.
