A 104 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Streamlines emergency medical technician certification process for certain veterans.

This bill streamlines EMT-Basic certification in New Jersey for veterans who served as Combat Army Medics or Navy Hospital Corpsmen (or equivalent roles). It allows eligible veterans to bypass standard training requirements if they hold a current National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians (NREMT) certification, have served in those specific military roles, and pass a background check. The bill also requires the Department of Health to publish clear online guidance about these streamlined requirements. This directly affects honorably discharged veterans with qualifying military medical experience seeking EMT certification.
