What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill prohibits the Department of Health Services from requiring an

applicant who is applying for certification as an emergency medical responder to

register with or take the examination of the National Registry of Emergency Medical

Technicians (NREMT). An ambulance service provider or another emergency

medical services program is allowed to require an emergency medical responder to

register with or take the examination of the NREMT. Current rules promulgated by

DHS require an applicant for a license as an emergency medical services practitioner

at any level, including an emergency medical responder, to be registered with the

NREMT or, in certain circumstances, to complete the NREMT examination.
