Part I. Texas Department of Health
Chapter 157. Emergency Medical
Services
25 TAC 157.61-157.73
The Texas Department of Health proposes new
157.61-157.73, concerning emergency medical
services. The proposed new sections cover minimum
requirements for personnel certification, vehicle regis-
tration by permit, categorization of vehicles, suspen-
sion and revocation of vehicle permits, requests for
emergency care attendant training, requests for vari-
ances, and fees. These new sections were first pro-
posed in the December 23, 1983, issue of the Texas
Register (8 TexReg 5379). Revisions have been made
which have taken into account comments received in
writing and at a public hearing held on January 27,
1984. These proposed new sections will replace emer-
gency 157.61-157.75, covering emergency med-
ical services.
Stephen Seale, chief accountant III, has determined
that for the first five-year period the rules will be in
effect there will be fiscal implications as a result of
enforcing or administering the rules. The effect on
state government will be an estimated additional cost
of $55,120 in 1984 and $81,480 each year in
1985-1988. There will be an estimated increase in
revenue of $55,120 in 1984, and $81,480 each year
in 1985-1988. There is no anticipated effect on local
governments.
The cost of compliance with the rules for small busi-
nesses will be a two-year registration for vehicles at
$25 each, with a maximum $500 for a fleet of vehi-
cles. The biennial cost per employee for most small
businesses would be $12.50, assuming two em-
ployees per ambulance. The cost per employee for the
largest businesses would be $8.33, under the same
assumptions.
Mr. Seale has also determined that for each year of
the first five years the rules are proposed are in ef-
fect the public benefit anticipated as a result of en-
forcing the rules as proposed is the establishment of
the framework by which prompt and efficient pre-
hospital care for the sick and injured will meet mini-
mum standards statewide under the supervision of a
physician, when practical. The anticipated economic
cost to individuals who are required to comply with
the rules as proposed is the $30 fee for a four-year
certification or recertification for specially skilled emer-
gency medical technician or paramedic emergency
medical technician. The fee for a four-year certifica-
tion or recertification for emergency care attendant
or basic emergency medical technicians is $20. A two-
year registration for vehicles is $25, with a maximum
of $500 for a fleet of vehicles.
