S 1152 New Jersey Senate · 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. It allows eligible veterans - defined as those honorably discharged after serving in these specific military medical roles - to bypass standard certification requirements if they hold a current National Registry EMT certification and pass a background check. The law requires the state health commissioner to publish clear online instructions about this process for veterans. It directly affects veterans with these specific military medical backgrounds seeking to work as EMTs in New Jersey.
