Creates New Jersey Board of Paramedicine.
This bill creates the New Jersey Board of Paramedicine to regulate paramedic and EMT licensing and practice. It establishes a 11-member board with specific qualifications, including four active mobile intensive care paramedics, two EMTs, medical specialists, and public members. The board will set standards for advanced life support (paramedics) and basic life support (EMTs), oversee licensing, and define paramedicine as a regulated healthcare practice encompassing pre-hospital care and community health services. The bill does not change current service standards but creates the governing body to administer these regulations.
