The bill amends the Public Health Code by adding a new section, 20950a, which establishes age requirements for individuals applying for various medical licenses in Michigan. Specifically, it stipulates that applicants for a medical first responder or emergency medical technician license must be at least 17 years old. If the applicant is under 18, their application must be signed by a parent or guardian. For those seeking a license as an emergency medical technician specialist, paramedic, or emergency medical services instructor-coordinator, the minimum age requirement is set at 18 years.

Additionally, the bill includes a provision stating that it will not take effect unless House Bill No. 5488 is also enacted into law. This ensures that the new age requirements for medical licensing are contingent upon the passage of related legislation.
