House Bill 2015 amends Tennessee Code Annotated, specifically Section 68-140-304(a), to introduce a new provision that allows individuals who have completed military training programs from the army, navy, or air force to be licensed as Advanced Emergency Medical Technicians (AEMTs). This licensing can occur upon successful completion of the National Registry Exam for Advanced Emergency Medical Technicians, eliminating the requirement for these individuals to undergo a traditional AEMT educational program.
The bill aims to streamline the process for veterans and active military personnel transitioning into civilian emergency medical roles, recognizing their training and experience. The act is set to take effect immediately upon becoming law, emphasizing the importance of facilitating the integration of qualified individuals into the emergency medical services workforce.
