    15  emergency services permits. For  purposes  of  this  section,  the  term

     2  one hundred fifteen-a of the vehicle  and  traffic  law,  and  the  term
     3  "emergency  operation"  shall  have  the  same  meaning  as such term is
     4  defined  by  section  one  hundred fourteen-b of the vehicle and traffic
     5  law. In any rules and regulations promulgated for the implementation  of
     6  this  section,  the authority may establish the type of documentation or
     7  other proof satisfactory to the authority  that  an  ambulance  or  fire
