TRANSFER AMBULANCE STANDARDS TO DOH

SB 164 transfers responsibility for regulating ambulance services from New Mexico's Department of Transportation (DOT) to the Department of Health (DOH). The bill moves existing ambulance standards, certification programs, enforcement authority, and related records to DOH, including oversight of ambulance service requirements, tariffs, and safety rules. This change directly affects ambulance providers, local governments operating ambulance services, and emergency medical service programs statewide. The bill does not create new standards but shifts administrative control to DOH while maintaining current regulatory requirements.
