Broward Sets June 9 Hearing on MTS Ambulance ALS/BLS COPCN Awards
Broward County Commission is considering a resolution directing the County Administrator to publish notice of a public hearing on June 9, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. in Room 422 of Governmental Center East, to consider awarding MTS Ambulance, LLC both a Class 2 Advanced Life Support Transfer Certificate and a Class 3 Basic Life Support Transport Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity. The COPCN awards, if granted at the June hearing, would authorize MTS Ambulance to operate ALS transfer and BLS transport services in Broward County.
What this means for you
Attorneys representing competing EMS providers, healthcare systems, or certificate holders should calendar the June 9, 2026 public hearing as the formal intervention point — that proceeding is where objections to the MTS Ambulance COPCN awards must be raised on the record. Any client holding an existing COPCN in Broward County faces a new licensed competitor if the awards proceed, affecting market exclusivity and contract positioning. Counsel for MTS Ambulance should confirm the notice publication process is completed timely to avoid procedural challenges that could derail or delay the June 9 hearing. Bottom Line: Mark June 9, 2026 at 10:00 a.m., Room 422 Governmental Center East, as the deadline for any client with a stake in Broward EMS market access to appear and be heard on the MTS Ambulance COPCN applications.
