Amends eligibility for funds from the Emergency Medical Technician Training Fund for volunteer EMTs.
This bill amends the law to clarify that a volunteer emergency medical technician (EMT) who receives a length of service award is eligible to receive funds from the Emergency Medical Technician Training Fund for certification or recertification as an EMT. It also amends the definitions of "public or private institution of higher education" and "volunteer emergency medical technician." The bill changes the requirements for an EMT in good standing during the initial three-year certification period to one who works at least 12 service calls, or 150 duty hours, per year.
