NM HB31

Enacts the Emergency Medical Services Personnel Licensure Interstate Compact, allowing EMTs, advanced EMTs, and paramedics licensed in member states to practice across state lines under a "privilege to practice" without obtaining additional licenses

Creates the Interstate Commission for Emergency Medical Services Personnel Practice, a joint public agency that will develop uniform rules, maintain a coordinated database of licensed personnel and adverse actions, and assess fees on member states

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

Expedites licensure processing for veterans, active military service members separating from active duty, and their spouses who hold current National Registry certifications

Establishes that the compact becomes effective when enacted by ten states, with member states able to withdraw with six months notice by repealing the statute
