This bill revises certain requirements concerning eligibility for reimbursement from the "Emergency Medical Technician Training Fund". The key provisions are: 1. The bill defines a "volunteer emergency medical technician" as someone who provides basic life support services without receiving compensation in the form of an hourly wage, salary, or other financial remuneration. 2. The bill requires the head of the ambulance, first aid and rescue squad employing or utilizing the services of an emergency medical technician who received initial training reimbursed from the fund to determine if the technician is a volunteer in good standing, provided they work at least one service call per month during the initial three-year certification period. 3. The bill allows the head of the ambulance, first aid and rescue squad to seek reimbursement from an emergency medical technician who ceases to be a volunteer in good standing during the initial three-year certification period for the monies paid out of the fund for their training, testing, certification, or recertification. 4. The Department of Health is required to exercise oversight authority over the collection of reimbursement funds. 5. The Commissioner of Health must adopt rules and regulations to implement the provisions of the bill, which will take effect 180 days after the date of enactment.
