Extends permission to administer glucagon and blood glucose tests to EMTs.**

This bill (A4280) allows Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs) to administer glucagon and perform blood glucose tests, expanding their current scope of practice. Currently, only Mobile Intensive Care Paramedics (with advanced training) can do this, while EMTs (trained in basic life support) cannot. To qualify, EMTs must complete approved training, pass an exam, and be certified by the New Jersey Department of Health, with certification details maintained in a public registry. The policy change directly affects EMTs seeking expanded certification and patients with diabetes experiencing severe low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) who require immediate intervention.
