Permits EMTs to administer epinephrine using needle and syringe that is not prefilled.

This bill permits New Jersey emergency medical technicians (EMTs) to administer epinephrine using standard needle and syringe equipment (not prefilled auto-injectors), expanding their existing authorization under current law. To qualify, EMTs must complete an approved training program and pass an exam on non-prefilled administration, as certified by the Commissioner of Health. The Commissioner will maintain a public registry of certified EMTs and annual lists of those authorized. This change directly affects EMTs providing emergency care, particularly in anaphylaxis situations, by offering a flexible administration method while ensuring standardized training and oversight.
