Introduced Session

This bill would amend section 4 of P.L.1992, c.143 (C.26:2K-57) to clarify that a volunteer emergency medical technician (EMT) who receives a length of service award would be eligible to receive funds from the "Emergency Medical Technician Training Fund" for the purposes of certification or recertification as an EMT. This bill additionally amends the definitions of "public or private institution of higher education" and "volunteer emergency medical technician." Under this bill, the definition of "public or private institution of higher education" would be amended to include those universities that are located out-of-State. And, the definition of "volunteer emergency medical technician" would be amended to mean an emergency medical technician who provides basic life support services without receiving compensation in the form of an hourly wage or a salary provided for or in connection with the provision of basic life support services. Lastly, this bill changes the requirements of an EMT in good standing during the initial three-year certification period to one who works at least 12 service calls, or 150 duty hours, per year.
