Authorizes reimbursement for EMT training from EMT Training Fund for certain volunteer firefighters.
This bill expands reimbursement eligibility under New Jersey's EMT Training Fund to include volunteer firefighters seeking EMT certification. It amends existing law to explicitly allow reimbursement for training and testing costs for volunteer fire company members pursuing EMT-A (Emergency Medical Technician-Advanced) or EMT-D (Defibrillation) certification, which was previously limited to volunteer ambulance/squad members. The fund will now cover these costs for certified volunteer firefighters, with reimbursement priority set for EMT-A certification first. The bill also prohibits agencies receiving fund monies from charging fees to eligible volunteer firefighters or ambulance/squad members.
