What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill allows individuals who are 17 years of age to apply for licensure as

emergency medical services practitioners and for certification as emergency medical

responders if the individuals meet certain requirements specified in the bill. Under

current law, no person under the age of 18 may apply for licensure as an emergency

medical services practitioner or for certification as an emergency medical responder.

“Emergency medical services practitioner” is defined under current law to mean an

emergency medical technician, an advanced emergency medical technician, an

emergency medical technician — intermediate, or a paramedic. Further, under the

bill, the Department of Health Services may reimburse a school district, charter

school, or tribal school for any costs to administer an examination necessary for a

student to become licensed as an emergency medical services practitioner or certified

as an emergency medical responder. Finally, the bill includes emergency medical

services as an approved occupational area in the youth apprenticeship program. The

youth apprenticeship program integrates school-based and work-based learning for

students in certain industries in the state. Under current law, the Department of

Workforce Development is required to develop curricula for the youth apprenticeship

program for all approved occupational areas.
