Requires certain ambulances to carry epinephrine.
New Jersey bill S 753 requires all basic life support ambulances and volunteer first aid/rescue ambulance squads to carry epinephrine auto-injector devices. The law mandates that each vehicle must have a supply of these devices and be staffed by at least one emergency medical technician certified to administer epinephrine. This directly affects ambulance services providing basic life support across the state, including volunteer squads. The bill defines "basic life support" as standard pre-hospital care involving stabilization, CPR, and wound care, but does not override existing staffing regulations. It takes effect 180 days after enactment.
