A prospective purchaser of the stock or assets of a commercial ambulance service, with the written permission of current ownership, may apply to SOCALR for a preliminary determination of the eligibility of the prospective purchaser for a commercial ambulance service license based on the eligibility criteria in COMAR 30.09.04. There is a fee for preliminary review of a license application submitted by a prospective buyer. Any information submitted to SOCALR relating to a potential acquisition of a commercial ambulance service is confidential until a license is issued to the successor, except as otherwise required by law. If the purchaser changes the name or principal address of the acquired service or any information on a ground ambulance license, a vehicle license transfer fee shall apply for each vehicle to be relicensed. The licensing fee required in COMAR 30.09.04.07 shall be paid for any additional ground ambulance licensed at the time of purchase.
