18  vehicle of a licensee not specifically exempted from this part

19  must be occupied by at least two persons: one patient

20  attendant who is a certified paramedic or licensed physician

21  and one who is a certified emergency medical technician,

22  certified paramedic, or licensed physician. An

23  advanced-life-support-permitted nontransport vehicle may

28  service as a result of unplanned events. This action may only

31  support service level is not routinely, intentionally, or
