|
| (3) |
An application for a license to provide ground ambulance service or paramedic service shall be for all ground ambulance services or paramedic services arising within the geographic service area, except that an applicant may apply for a license for less than all ground ambulance services or all paramedic services arising within an exclusive geographic area if it can demonstrate how the remainder of that area will be served. |
| (4) |
| (a) |

| (c) |
A revised license issued under Subsection (4)(b):
