A 6075 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Requires municipalities to provide basic life support services; establishes basic life support services as essential.

This bill requires every New Jersey municipality to provide basic life support (BLS) services - such as CPR, wound care, and emergency ambulance transport - to meet community needs. It designates BLS as an "essential service" and gives municipalities five options to arrange it: contracting with private or nonprofit entities, entering mutual aid agreements with other towns, partnering with hospitals, or using existing fire/EMS departments. The law applies directly to all 565 New Jersey municipalities and takes effect immediately. It does not specify funding sources or service standards beyond the defined BLS scope.
