Enters New Jersey into Emergency Medical Services Personnel Licensure Interstate Compact.
This bill would enter New Jersey into the Recognition of Emergency Medical Services Personnel Licensure Interstate Compact (REPLICA), creating a system that allows EMTs, AEMTs, and paramedics licensed in New Jersey to practice in other participating states without obtaining new licenses. Under the compact, EMS personnel would have a "privilege to practice" in other member states, while states must share information about licensure, adverse actions, and investigations through a coordinated database. The compact requires member states to use national registry exams for initial licensure, conduct background checks, and report adverse actions to maintain reciprocity. It aims to improve access to emergency medical services across state lines while protecting public safety through shared regulatory standards. This system is designed to make it easier for EMS professionals to work across state boundaries during emergencies or for career mobility.
