S.4740

Authorizes reimbursement for volunteer emergency medical technicians for criminal background checks from the Emergency Medical Technician Training.

This bill amends existing law to allow reimbursement from the Emergency Medical Technician Training Fund for volunteer emergency medical technicians for initial and follow-up criminal history record background checks. The fund, a nonlapsing revolving fund, is used to cover costs associated with EMT training and testing. The Department of Health may require EMT certification candidates to bear the costs of these background checks.
