AZ HB2437

Enters Arizona into the Emergency Medical Services Personnel Licensure Interstate Compact (REPLICA), allowing licensed EMTs, AEMTs, and paramedics to practice across member state lines under a "privilege to practice" without obtaining separate state licenses.

Requires compact member states to use the National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians (NREMT) examination for initial licensure and implement criminal background checks with FBI fingerprint verification within five years of compact activation.

Establishes the Interstate Commission for EMS Personnel Practice to administer the compact, promulgate rules, collect fees, and maintain a coordinated database for sharing licensure and adverse action information among member states.

Expedites licensure processing for veterans, active military service members separating from active duty, National Guard and reserve members, and their spouses who hold current NREMT certification.

Requires Arizona to report adverse actions and significant investigatory information regarding EMS personnel to the interstate commission while authorizing remote states to restrict or suspend an individual's privilege to practice within their jurisdiction.
