§ 2-6-1. Attachment and garnishment proceedings.

Whenever ambulance services are provided by a county or by a municipally-owned and operated ambulance service and a recipient of such ambulance services or one legally responsible for the support of a recipient of such services fails to pay charges fixed for such services for a period of ninety (90) days after the rendering of such services, the county or municipality providing the ambulance services may treat the amount due for such services as if it were a tax due to the county or municipality and may proceed to collect the amount due through the use of attachment and garnishment proceedings as set out in G.S. 105-385(d).

(S.L. 1969, C. 708, § 1)
