Special license plates authorization for firefighters who are also emergency medical technicians

This bill allows firefighters who are also certified emergency medical technicians (EMTs), advanced EMTs, or paramedics to obtain special license plates for their personal vehicles. To qualify, applicants must provide certification from the Office of Emergency Medical Services, a letter from their fire chief confirming department membership, and pay applicable fees. The special plates can only be used while the owner maintains both qualifications, and must be removed if they lose either certification or fire department membership. Fees collected go to the state's driver and vehicle services account, and plates may be transferred to another vehicle owned by the same qualified individual. The policy applies to passenger cars, one-ton pickup trucks, and motorcycles owned by qualifying individuals.
