Bill Summary
This resolve directs the Department of Public Safety, Maine Emergency Medical Services to establish procedures to allow an individual who served on active duty in the medical corps of any branch of the Armed Forces of the United States to become eligible for licensure as an emergency medical services person and directs the department to submit a report on the establishment of those procedures to the Joint Standing Committee on Criminal Justice and Public Safety no later than December 3, 2025.
AI Summary
This bill directs the Department of Public Safety, Maine Emergency Medical Services (Maine EMS) to create new procedures that would allow military medical corps personnel who have served on active duty in any branch of the United States Armed Forces to become eligible for licensure as emergency medical services (EMS) persons. Specifically, the department is required to establish these procedures through rulemaking, which will be classified as routine technical rules. The bill mandates that Maine EMS submit a report to the Joint Standing Committee on Criminal Justice and Public Safety by December 3, 2025, detailing the new licensure procedures. The goal of this legislation appears to be expanding the emergency medical workforce by providing a pathway for experienced military medical personnel to transition into civilian emergency medical service roles, potentially addressing workforce shortages and leveraging the extensive medical training these individuals have received during their military service.
