Section 8:40-2.4 - Exemptions from licensing requirements

(a) In accordance with the provisions of N.J.S.A. 26:2H-2b, this chapter shall not apply to BLS ambulance services provided by volunteer ambulance, first aid or rescue squads as defined in the New Jersey Highway Traffic Safety Act of 1987, 27:5F-18 et seq. In accordance with the provisions of 30:4D-6.5, this chapter shall not apply to MAV services provided by volunteer ambulance, first aid or rescue squads as defined in the New Jersey Highway Traffic Safety Act of 1987, 27:5F-18 et seq.

(b) Any person, public or private institution, agency, entity, corporation or business concern providing mobility assistance or basic life support care in any form or manner, where the transport originates within the State of New Jersey, shall first be licensed by the Department in accordance with the provisions of this chapter. For the purpose of this paragraph, geographic areas of exclusive Federal jurisdiction shall not be considered "within the State of New Jersey." However, the licensing requirements set forth in this chapter shall not apply to providers that are based in other states and that provide service in New Jersey when the provider is:

1. Transporting a patient through New Jersey from an out-of-State location to another out-of-State location;

2. Transporting a patient from an out-of-State location to a New Jersey location and returning that same patient to an out-of-State location on the same day; or

3. Transporting a patient on a one-way trip from an out-of-State location to a New Jersey location.

(c) The licensing requirements contained in this chapter shall not apply to services operated directly by an agency of the government of the United States. However, providers holding United States government contracts are not exempt from licensure unless the provider only provides services within a geographic area of exclusive Federal jurisdiction (for example, providing emergency response services within the confines of a United States military base or transporting a patient from a United States military base hospital to a Veterans Administration hospital).
