A. The governing body of any municipality or county may contract for ambulance service with the state or any of its agencies or any other municipality, county, person, firm, or corporation or combination thereof subject to such terms and conditions as may be agreed upon between the parties or in accordance with the requirements of the Interlocal Cooperation Act. Such contracts, if with a person, firm, or corporation, shall provide for the carrying of liability insurance in a sum of not less than the risk of liability of the municipality pursuant to the provisions of Section 154 of Title 51 of the Oklahoma Statutes.

B. Any employee of a municipality, county, or public trust, engaging in ambulance or emergency service provided by the employer shall be entitled to all benefits of any pension fund or insurance benefits to which such employee might otherwise be entitled.
