The Division may authorize a service to operate an ambulance, air ambulance or agency's vehicle that has not been inspected for not more than 60 days if the service attests in the form prescribed by the Division that the ambulance, air ambulance or agency's vehicle complies with the requirements of this chapter. If the Division identifies any deficiency during the inspection, the Division may order the service to immediately remove the ambulance, air ambulance or agency's vehicle from service.
