The primary laws governing Emergency Medical Services in Kentucky are KRS 311A and 202 KAR 7:101 et al. You will find hyperlinks to these laws under the tabs provided for them. KRS 311A provides the legal framework that creates KBEMS and grants authority to the Board to license and certify EMS providers and agencies in Kentucky. The administrative regulations, promulgated by the Board, are the guidelines for putting the statute into effect. Both work together to accomplish a comprehensive model for the provision of EMS in our Commonwealth.
