A 2025 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Requires certain ambulances to carry epinephrine.

This bill requires all basic life support ambulances and volunteer ambulance squad vehicles in New Jersey to carry epinephrine auto-injectors and be staffed by at least one emergency medical technician (EMT) certified to administer them. It directly affects ambulance services, including both paid and volunteer emergency response units, by mandating specific equipment and personnel standards for treating severe allergic reactions. The law defines "basic life support" as standard pre-hospital care and clarifies that the requirements do not override existing federal or state staffing regulations. The bill takes effect 180 days after enactment.
