The vehicle may be returned to service before a reinspection with approval of the department. A reinspection must occur within 15 days after notification by the life support agency.(b) If an agency fails to bring a vehicle into compliance within 24 hours, the agency shall remove the vehicle from service until the life support agency submits a written explanation of corrective action to the department and the department reinspects the vehicle.
