  THE  PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  Section 1. Subdivision 7 of section 3008 of the public health law,  as
added by chapter 510 of the laws of 1997, is amended to read as follows:
  7. [(a)] Notwithstanding any other provision of law and subject to the
provisions  of this article, any municipality within this state, or fire
district acting on behalf of any such municipality, and  acting  through
its  local legislative body, is hereby authorized and empowered to adopt
and amend local laws, ordinances or resolutions to establish and operate
advanced life support first responder services  or  municipal  ambulance
services  within  the municipality, upon meeting or exceeding all stand-
ards set by the department for appropriate training, staffing and equip-
ment, and upon filing with the New York state emergency medical services
council, a written request for such  authorization.  Upon  such  filing,

pal ambulance service shall be deemed to  have  satisfied  any  and  all
requirements  for  determination of public need for the establishment of
additional emergency medical services pursuant to this  article  [for  a
period  of two years following the date of such filing]. Nothing in this
article shall be deemed to exclude the municipal advanced  life  support
first  responder service or municipal ambulance service authorized to be
established and operated pursuant to this article  from  complying  with
any other requirement or provision of this article or any other applica-
ble provision of law.
  [(b)  In the case of an application for certification pursuant to this
subdivision, for a municipal advanced life support  or  municipal  ambu-
lance  service,  to  serve  the  area within the municipality, where the
proposed service meets or exceeds the appropriate training, staffing and
equipment standards, there shall be a strong  presumption  in  favor  of
approving the application.]
  S 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
