Bill Summary

AN ACT RELATING TO INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENTS; ENACTING THE EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES PERSONNEL LICENSURE INTERSTATE COMPACT.

AI Summary

This bill enacts the Emergency Medical Services Personnel Licensure Interstate Compact, which aims to protect the public by ensuring the competency and accountability of emergency medical services (EMS) personnel, such as emergency medical technicians (EMTs) and paramedics, across state lines. The compact allows licensed EMS personnel from one member state to practice in another member state under a "privilege to practice," facilitating their movement for emergency duties and improving public access to their services. It establishes an Interstate Commission for EMS Personnel Practice to oversee the compact, develop uniform rules, and maintain a coordinated database of licensure and adverse actions. The bill also includes provisions for expedited licensure for veterans and military spouses, and outlines procedures for handling adverse actions, dispute resolution, and enforcement among member states.
