Expands Emergency Medical Technician Training Fund eligibility to include volunteer EMTs who receive length of service awards, clarifying that such awards do not disqualify them as volunteers.

Changes the "good standing" requirement for volunteer EMTs during their initial three-year certification period from one service call per month to 12 service calls per year or 150 duty hours per year.

Broadens the definition of "public or private institution of higher education" to include institutions located anywhere in the United States, not just New Jersey, for purposes of the reimbursement exemption when EMTs leave to attend school.

Adds select continuing education classes (as recommended by the advisory council) to the list of training expenses eligible for reimbursement from the fund, alongside initial certification and recertification classes.
