A 552 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Streamlines certification standards for emergency medical technicians.

This bill sets new maximum hour limits for emergency medical technician (EMT) certification in New Jersey. It requires that all combined training for EMT-Basic certification (including coursework, clinical training, and field experience) must not exceed 90 hours, and additional certifications for EMT-Basics must not exceed 30 hours. Training agencies offering EMT-Basic programs must comply with the 90-hour limit to maintain certification. The bill directly affects EMT trainees, training programs, and the State Board of Medical Examiners by standardizing and reducing the required training duration.
