Concerning emergency medical technician recertification.

HB 2540 proposes changing Washington State's emergency medical technician (EMT) recertification requirements. It would require most EMTs to recertify every three years, while EMTs certified in Washington for 10 or more years would only need to recertify every six years. The bill directly affects all active EMTs in Washington, with the longer interval applying specifically to those with a decade of continuous certification. The change modifies existing rules under chapter 18.73 RCW without creating new programs or funding.
