Revises law related to EMT eligibility for receiving funds from "Emergency Medical Technician Training Fund."
This bill revises New Jersey's Emergency Medical Technician Training Fund law to clarify eligibility for volunteer EMTs and adjust maintenance requirements. It specifies that volunteer EMTs receiving length-of-service awards remain eligible for fund reimbursement, and expands the definition of "public or private institution of higher education" to include out-of-state schools. The bill also lowers the "good standing" requirement during the initial three-year certification period from 12 service calls per month to 12 calls per year (or 150 duty hours annually), exempting those leaving for higher education from repaying the fund. These changes directly affect volunteer EMTs, training agencies, and ambulance/rescue squads utilizing their services.
