Overview
This bill allows the New Jersey Commissioner of Health to issue temporary emergency medical services certifications to qualified emergency medical technicians and paramedics. Specifically, it enables the temporary reinstatement of inactive paramedic certifications and grants temporary reciprocity to paramedics certified in other states. These certifications would be valid for six months, and the commissioner is authorized to waive standard requirements like fees and continuing education to streamline the process. This measure aims to address staffing shortages during public health emergencies.
