1798.182
. The authority may authorize a poison control center,
instead of providing poison control services directly, to contract
with an entity in another state to provide poison control services
during any part of the 24-hour period for which the center is
required to provide poison control services, if both of the following
conditions are met:
(a) The center is unable to provide poison control services 24
hours a day.
(b) The entity in the other state provides substantially the same
poison control services as required under Section 1798.180, and
regulations adopted pursuant thereto. An entity in another state
shall not be deemed not to provide substantially the same poison
control services solely because the staff of the entity is licensed
in the other state, and not licensed in the State of California.
