AB740,1,2 1An Act to create 256.15 (8) (bm) of the statutes; relating to: certification
2requirements for emergency medical responders.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
This bill prohibits the Department of Health Services from requiring an
applicant who is applying for certification as an emergency medical responder to
register with or take the examination of the National Registry of Emergency Medical
Technicians (NREMT). An ambulance service provider or another emergency
medical services program is allowed to require an emergency medical responder to
register with or take the examination of the NREMT. Current rules promulgated by
DHS require an applicant for a license as an emergency medical services practitioner
at any level, including an emergency medical responder, to be registered with the
NREMT or, in certain circumstances, to complete the NREMT examination.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do
enact as follows:
