A 432 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Streamlines certification standards for emergency medical technicians.

This bill streamlines EMT-Basic certification by capping total required training hours at 90 for initial certification and 30 for additional certifications within an EMT-Basic scope of practice. Training agencies offering EMT-Basic programs exceeding these hour limits would become ineligible for state certification. The bill directly affects EMT trainees, training programs, and the New Jersey Department of Health. It aims to make certification more accessible by reducing training burdens, aligning with practices in other states.
