Pursuant to section 119.032 of the Ohio Revised Code, the Emergency Medical Services (EMS) is required to review each of its administrative rules every five years and decide if a rule should be rescinded, amended, or continued without change. During this process, EMS will determine if:
• EMS has the statutory authority to promulgate the rule;
• The rule duplicates or conflicts with statutes found in the Revised Code or other rules found in the Administrative Code;
• The rule has a specific purpose and an outcome that can be articulated;
• The rule can be applied consistently across all sizes and sectors of business and would not impede economic development;
• The rule is easy to understand;
• The rule is reasonably balanced between regulatory need and Ohioans' burden to comply; and
• The outlined process in the rule is the most efficient and cost-effective method to achieving the specific outcome.
