A 3395 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Revises law related to EMT eligibility for receiving funds from "Emergency Medical Technician Training Fund."

This bill amends New Jersey's Emergency Medical Technician Training Fund eligibility rules. It clarifies that volunteer EMTs receiving "length of service awards" remain eligible for fund reimbursement, expands the definition of "public or private institution of higher education" to include out-of-state schools, and defines "volunteer EMT" as someone providing services without hourly wage/salary compensation (excluding length-of-service awards). It also changes the requirement for "good standing" from 12 monthly calls to 12 annual calls or 150 duty hours per year during the initial certification period. The bill directly affects volunteer EMTs, training agencies, and ambulance/rescue squads seeking reimbursement for EMT certification or recertification costs.
