It did.
So many medavac are forced to officially change their COM to single pilot now. I won't name them, but even the biggest one is moving into a single pilot operation and forcing the province to change their contract.

Since most operates PC12, they won't be even eligible for the restricted ATPL (the Multi Engine part is non-negotiable).
Having said that - they will operate two pilots and ATPL requirement for the PIC will be removed, since officially they are going to be a single pilot.
That is straight out from their chief pilot
