What it would have done

Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.

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.
