The "Emergency Medical Services Personnel Licensure Interstate Compact" is a newly enacted law designed to improve the mobility and accountability of emergency medical services (EMS) personnel across state lines. This compact allows states to recognize and grant legal authority to EMS personnel licensed in other member states, facilitating their ability to provide emergency services in various jurisdictions. Key objectives include increasing public access to EMS personnel, enhancing patient safety, and supporting the licensing of military members and their spouses. The compact establishes a framework for information sharing among member states regarding licensure and adverse actions against EMS personnel, while also creating an interstate commission to oversee its implementation.

The bill introduces provisions to enhance the governance of the commission, including the establishment of a coordinated database for tracking licensure and adverse actions, and outlines the commission's rulemaking authority. It emphasizes compliance enforcement among member states, with the ability to terminate a state's membership if obligations are not met. Additionally, the bill details the procedures for termination of membership, ensuring that states remain liable for obligations incurred prior to termination. It also allows for appeals to the United States district court regarding membership disputes and establishes that the compact will take effect once enacted by the tenth member state, with provisions for amendments and withdrawals. Overall, the legislation aims to streamline operations, enhance accountability, and improve information sharing among states while prioritizing public safety.
