  • Missouri would join the Emergency Medical Services Personnel Licensure Interstate Compact (REPLICA), allowing licensed EMTs, AEMTs, and paramedics to practice across member state lines without obtaining additional licenses
  • EMS personnel must be at least 18 years old, hold an unrestricted license in their home state, and practice under medical director supervision to exercise interstate practice privileges
  • Home states must require National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians (NREMT) examinations for initial EMT and paramedic licensure and implement FBI criminal background checks within five years of compact activation
  • Creates the Interstate Commission for EMS Personnel Practice to administer the compact, promulgate rules, maintain a coordinated database of licensure and adverse actions, and resolve disputes between member states
  • Member states retain authority to take adverse action against an individual's privilege to practice within their borders, and any license restriction, suspension, or revocation in the home state automatically suspends interstate practice privileges
