Overview
This bill aims to simplify the certification process for Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs) in New Jersey. It reduces the total hours required for basic EMT certification to a maximum of 90 hours, and limits additional certifications to 30 hours. The bill also creates a process for recognizing military training and experience as equivalent to standard certification requirements. This change is intended to address a shortage of EMTs in the state.
