SB 24 Nevada Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Provides for the certification and regulation of emergency medical responders. (BDR 40-292)

SB 24 establishes a formal certification and regulatory process for emergency medical responders (EMRs), directly affecting EMR practitioners who must now hold valid certification to practice. The bill requires certification through the same entities that regulate EMTs and paramedics (county health boards in large counties or the state health board elsewhere) and prohibits unlicensed practice with misdemeanor penalties. Key provisions align EMRs with EMTs regarding workplace safety, legal protections, data collection, and authority to administer treatments like epinephrine. The law standardizes their regulatory framework under existing health codes without creating new benefits or altering public health services.
