The "Emergency Medical Services Personnel Licensure Interstate Compact" bill aims to improve public safety by simplifying the licensure process for emergency medical services (EMS) personnel across state lines. It allows states to recognize each other's licenses, enabling emergency medical technicians, advanced emergency medical technicians, and paramedics to provide care in various states. The bill outlines member states' responsibilities, including investigating complaints, notifying the commission of adverse actions, and conducting criminal background checks for initial licensure. It also includes provisions for veterans and active military personnel to expedite their licensure based on existing certifications, while establishing an interstate commission to oversee the compact's implementation and ensure accountability.

Additionally, the bill introduces new governance provisions for the commission, including the creation of a coordinated database for tracking licensure and adverse actions across member states. Member states must submit a uniform data set to this database, and the commission is tasked with notifying states of any adverse actions. The bill also details the commission's rulemaking authority, requiring a majority vote for rule adoption and emphasizing transparency in operations. It outlines procedures for terminating membership in the compact, ensuring that states remain liable for obligations incurred prior to termination. The compact will take effect once enacted by the tenth member state, with provisions for amendments and withdrawals, while ensuring compliance with existing state laws regarding EMS licensure.
