Streamlines emergency medical technician certification process for certain veterans.

The bill amends the emergency medical technician certification process to streamline it for certain veterans. Eligible servicemembers, defined as those who have served or are serving as a Combat Army Medic, a Navy Hospital Corpsman, or equivalent in any branch of the Armed Forces or the National Guard, can be certified if they possess a current EMT certification from the National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians and pass a criminal history record background check. The Commissioner of Health must publish a clear explanation of these requirements on the Department of Health’s website.
