1. Except as otherwise provided in this section, a program of unarmed combat must not be held unless at least one advanced life support unit is present at the site of the program and able and available to transport an unarmed combatant to a medical facility. If only one advanced life support unit is present at the site of the program and that advanced life support unit, or part thereof, leaves the site of the program, then the program may not proceed until the advanced life support unit returns.
2. The Commission may, in its discretion, require two or more advanced life support units to be present for a program of unarmed combat. If the Commission requires two or more advanced life support units to be present for a program of unarmed combat and an advanced life support unit, or part thereof, leaves the site of the program for good cause shown, the Executive Director or the Executive Director's designee may permit a program of unarmed combat to continue with fewer advanced life support units present than the Commission initially required pursuant to this subsection if at least one advanced life support unit remains present at the site of the program and is able and available to transport an unarmed combatant to a medical facility.
3. If an ambulance is not available because of the location of the site, the highest level of medical transport in that locale must be present and able and available to transport an unarmed combatant to a medical facility. If the paramedics are not available because of the location of the site, two persons with the highest level of training as emergency medical technicians in that locale must be present and able and available to treat an unarmed combatant.

(a) Must be designated to render service only to the unarmed combatants in the program.

The promoter shall ensure that the medical personnel have seating in the location deemed appropriate pursuant to this paragraph.
5. Each promoter of such a program shall, without regard to the size of the anticipated attendance:
(a) Give notice of the time, date and site of the program to the ambulance service or emergency medical service which is located nearest to the site of the program and ascertain from the service the length of time required for one of its ambulances to reach the site.
(b) Give such a notice to the nearest hospital and the persons in charge of its emergency room.
6. Authorization for an advanced life support unit to leave the site of the program of unarmed combat after clearance of the dressing rooms may only be provided by the Executive Director or the Executive Director's designee.
7. For purposes of this section, a program of unarmed combat begins with the commencement of the first bout and ends when the last unarmed combatant leaves the site of the program.
8. As used in this section, "advanced life support unit" consists of:
(a) One ambulance;
(b) One person certified by this State as a paramedic; and
(c) A second person certified by this State as an emergency medical technician, intermediate emergency medical technician, advanced emergency medical technician or paramedic.
