Adds technology transfer duties to New Jersey Commission on Science, Innovation and Technology.

Maddy summaryThis bill (S 553) adds a specific technology transfer duty to New Jersey's Commission on Science, Innovation and Technology. It requires the Commission to appoint an Innovation Council to determine how to better transfer technology between the state's public/private higher education institutions and industry, including sharing federal agency information. The Council must then report on improving this process to the Commission. The bill directly affects the Commission, higher education institutions, and businesses seeking to collaborate on technology development and commercialization. It does not create new funding but clarifies the Commission's role in facilitating these technology transfers.

Provides for reciprocity of certain out-of-State EMT certification; establishes criminal history record background check process.*

Maddy summaryThis bill allows Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs) certified in other U.S. states, territories, or Puerto Rico to work in New Jersey without retaking certification exams, provided their home state's standards meet or exceed New Jersey's. It requires all applicants to undergo a criminal history background check through state and federal databases, with disqualification for convictions involving violence, arson, drug offenses, or other specified crimes. Existing EMTs must also complete this background check during their next recertification. The law mandates biennial background checks for all certified EMTs as part of renewal.
