Vehicle Design Section 3.16.4, subsection A and B of the KKK-A-1822F
1. List the section of the act for which the waiver is being sought.
2. Explain why complying with this section of the act is a hardship including a description of how you have attempted to comply
with this section
a.) Many new vehicle body styles do not allow for front markings on a “curved surface above the grille” as required in subsection A, nor would
__________________________________________________________________________________________________
any lettering on the hood styles be easily visible from traffic in the front of the ambulance.
b.) Current IDPH licensed ambulances that do not meet subsection A and/or B, have markings, emblems, and paint schemes that may not
__________________________________________________________________________________________________
easily allow for the addition of the word “AMBULANCE” in 6 inch in height letters. The cost of both removal and replacing of emblems and
__________________________________________________________________________________________________
markings is not cost effective and does not impact patient care or safety.
3. Explain how the waiver will NOT reduce the quality of medical care established by the act.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________
a. Emblems, Markings, and color schemes, as identified in KKK-A-1822F, subsection A and B, will not impact the quality
of care to a patient in the prehospital setting.
