Amends the Emergency Medical Services Systems Act to establish six EMS personnel licensure levels: Emergency Medical Responder (EMR), Emergency Medical Technician (EMT), Emergency Medical Technician-Intermediate (EMT-I), Advanced Emergency Medical Technician (A-EMT), and Paramedic (EMT-P).

Allows EMS personnel with expired licenses to apply for relicensure within 6 months after expiration by showing compliance with continuing education requirements and paying relicensure fees including a late fee.

Permits reinstatement of licenses expired for more than 6 months but less than 36 months upon submission of proof of continuing medical education, clinical requirements, positive recommendation from an EMS Medical Director, and passing a Department-approved examination.

Recognizes previous EMT-Basic (EMT-B) and EMT-Paramedic (EMT-P) licenses as valid until expiration, and recognizes First Responder licenses as Emergency Medical Responder licenses until expiration.

Requires all EMS Systems and licensees to achieve full compliance with National EMS Education Standards within 24 months after the Department adopts administrative rules implementing those standards.
