AZ HB2402

Requires ambulance services to submit quarterly reports to the Arizona Department of Health Services including dispatch times, response times, hospital arrival times, mutual aid declinations, substantiated complaints, medication errors, and patient injuries.

Mandates the department to make ambulance service reporting data publicly available on its website after redacting personally identifying information, and establishes a civil penalty of up to $500 for failure to comply with quarterly reporting requirements.

Directs the department to create an online certificate of necessity application portal for tracking application status and a public dashboard displaying ambulance service response times by call type.

Allows the director to issue certificates of necessity to cities, towns, fire districts, or private ambulance services for geographic areas with populations under 10,000 that either lack current coverage or have certificate holders failing to meet conditions for at least 12 months.

Exempts registered Arizona ambulances responding to major catastrophes, natural disasters, or wildland fires within the state from certain regulatory requirements when local ambulances are insufficient.
