If enacted, this bill would amend current statutes by adding a new section to the Arizona Revised Statutes that requires privately owned ambulance services to provide specific operational data to the Department of Health Services. The new requirements include reporting the types of calls received (such as advanced life support or basic life support), along with detailed timestamps for dispatch, on-scene, hospital arrival, and hospital release times. Additionally, the bill mandates reporting instances when an ambulance service has only one ambulance available or none at all, as well as any refusals to provide backup or mutual aid to other services.

Furthermore, the bill stipulates that the Department must make this information publicly available upon request, while ensuring that any personally identifying information is redacted. The department is also required to post the redacted information on its public website, enhancing transparency regarding ambulance service operations. This update aims to improve public access to information about emergency medical services and their performance.
