S 4014 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Provides for licensure of emergency medical responders and emergency medical technicians and certification of mobility assistance vehicle operators; revises requirements for delivery of emergency medical and patient transportation services.

This bill establishes mandatory licensure for emergency medical responders (EMRs) and emergency medical technicians (EMTs), and certification for mobility assistance vehicle operators (MAVOs), all administered by the New Jersey Department of Health. It requires criminal background checks for all applicants, sets minimum staffing requirements for various emergency medical service units, and mandates electronic patient care reporting for non-emergent medical transportation services. The bill repeals outdated sections of law related to emergency medical services and creates procedures for license/certification suspension and renewal. These requirements directly affect emergency medical service providers, hospitals, and the professionals who work in these roles, aiming to standardize and improve oversight of emergency medical services in New Jersey.
