LD 969 Maine House · 132nd Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act To Increase Emergency Medical Services Provider Training Opportunities

LD 969 requires Maine's Emergency Medical Services Board to adopt rules that permit municipalities to conduct or host training for emergency medical services (EMS) licensing and relicensing. This change allows cities and towns to organize or provide venues for required training sessions, rather than relying solely on external providers. The bill does not alter training content or standards but expands where training can occur. As a result, EMS providers across Maine may access training through local municipal programs.
