Seventh Circuit -- Joshua Beller v. Health and Hospital

 For purposes of the Emergency Treatment statute, an ambulance is not operated by a hospital when it is functioning according to community-wide EMS standards.

Deference to the agency's interpretation that this is a clarification of a rule, and not retroactive application of a new rule, for which statutory authority would have been required.
