S 3648 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Enters New Jersey into Emergency Medical Services Personnel Licensure Interstate Compact.

New Jersey would join the Emergency Medical Services Personnel Licensure Interstate Compact (REPLICA) through S 3648, allowing EMTs, paramedics, and other licensed EMS personnel to practice across state lines more easily. The bill creates a system where New Jersey would immediately recognize valid licenses from other participating states, and other states would recognize New Jersey licenses, reducing barriers for EMS workers responding to emergencies or relocating. It also establishes shared processes for exchanging information about disciplinary actions (like license suspensions) and supports military personnel transitioning out of service. This compact directly affects licensed EMS professionals who work or move between member states, aiming to improve public access to care while maintaining safety standards.
