Bill Summary
This bill enters New Jersey into the Recognition Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Personnel Licensure Interstate Compact (otherwise known as REPLICA). This compact is intended to facilitate the day-to-day movement of EMS personnel across state boundaries in the performance of their EMS duties as assigned by an appropriate authority and authorize state EMS offices to afford immediate legal recognition to EMS personnel licensed in a member state. This compact recognizes that states have a vested interest in protecting the public's health and safety through their licensing and regulation of EMS personnel, and that such state regulation shared among the member states will best protect public health and safety. REPLICA is the nation's first and only multi-state compact for the EMS profession. REPLICA provides qualified EMS professionals licensed in a "home state" a legal "privilege to practice" in "remote states." Home states are states where an EMT is licensed; while remote states are other states that have adopted the REPLICA legislation.
