HB250 Summary

• Establishes the Emergency Medical Services Personnel Licensure Interstate Compact to enable EMS personnel licensed in member states to practice in other member states with limited reciprocity privileges.

• Creates the Interstate Commission for EMS Personnel Practice as a joint public agency composed of delegates from member states to develop and enforce uniform rules governing EMS licensure and practice across state lines.

• Allows EMS personnel from compact member states to practice in Alabama without obtaining a separate state license when performing assigned EMS duties under specific circumstances such as transporting patients across state lines.

• Implements a coordinated database system for member states to share licensure information, adverse actions, and disciplinary records to maintain public safety and accountability standards.

• Establishes adverse action procedures ensuring home states have exclusive disciplinary authority while allowing remote states to restrict or revoke privileges; requires the Compact to become effective upon enactment in the tenth member state.
