Bill overview
This bill, the EMS Counts Act, aims to improve the way the government tracks emergency medical services (EMS) professionals. Currently, the Bureau of Labor Statistics doesn’t fully account for specialized EMS roles like firefighter/EMTs and firefighter/paramedics within its Standard Occupational Classification system. The bill directs the Department of Labor to revise this system to include these specific roles, providing a more accurate count of EMS personnel. This updated data will be crucial for understanding the needs of EMS agencies and informing policy decisions related to disaster preparedness and public health.
