the lead agency, the state department and the Emergency Medical
Services Authority, in consultation with hospitals and other health
care providers and local emergency medical services agencies, shall
designate signage requirements for a health facility holding a
special permit for a standby emergency medical service located in an
urban area. The signage shall not include the word "emergency" and
shall reflect the type of emergency services provided by the
facility, and be easily understood by the average person. The
facility shall not post signs, distribute literature, or advertise
that emergency services are available at the facility. Nothing in
this section shall be construed to mean that a facility is no longer
providing emergency services for purposes of billing or
reimbursement. A small and rural hospital, as defined in Section
124840, is not subject to the requirements of this section.
