Bill Summary
Amend KRS 165A.310 to exclude institutions licensed or approved by the Kentucky Board of Emergency Medical Services from the definition of "proprietary school" under the Kentucky Commission for Proprietary Education; amend KRS 311A.020 to specify that the Kentucky Board of Emergency Medical Services has authority to oversee the licensure and relicensure of emergency medical services training or educational institutions; amend KRS 311A.015, 311A.024, 311A.025, 311A.030, and 164.945 to conform.
AI Summary
This bill clarifies the regulatory oversight of emergency medical services (EMS) training and educational institutions by ensuring they are overseen by the Kentucky Board of Emergency Medical Services (KBEMS) rather than the Kentucky Commission on Proprietary Education, which regulates private vocational schools. Specifically, it amends existing laws to exclude institutions licensed or approved by the KBEMS from the definition of "proprietary school" and explicitly grants the KBEMS the authority to license and relicense these EMS training and education institutes. The bill also makes conforming changes to other related statutes to align with these provisions, ensuring a clear division of regulatory responsibility and enhancing the KBEMS's role in overseeing the quality and standards of EMS education in Kentucky.
