Abstract

This project was completed as part of a partnership between the Minnesota State Fire Chiefs Association (MSFCA) and the University of Minnesota’s Resilient Communities Project (http://www.rcp.umn.edu). The goal of this project was to provide a legal analysis of Minnesota’s emergency medical services statutes and regulations. MSFCA project lead BJ Jungmann collaborated with students in Professor Paul Vaaler’s course, LAW 7606: Independent Research, to contextualize Minnesota’s EMS statutes and regulations, describe Minnesota’s primary service area system by explaining Minnesota’s EMS statutes and regulations and exploring their antitrust implications, and examine the uniqueness of Minnesota’s primary service area system. A final student report and presentation are available. A videorecording of the students' final presentation is also available at https://vimeo.com/547573428.
