Bill Summary
Relative to emergency medical technician certification of veterans and military medics. Public Health.
AI Summary
This bill aims to streamline the process for veterans and military medics to obtain emergency medical technician (EMT) certification in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. It requires the Department of Public Health to develop standards and regulations to determine if the education and training received by veterans and military medics in the United States Armed Forces is substantially equivalent to the state's EMT training requirements. If the Department determines the training is substantially equivalent, it must waive any course or training requirements for certification and issue a verification of EMT training equivalency to the applicant, allowing them to obtain EMT certification without having to complete the same training again.
