NV SB24

Codifies into Nevada law the certification and regulation of emergency medical responders (EMRs), moving existing regulatory provisions into statute and placing oversight with district boards of health (Clark County) or the State Board of Health (all other counties)

Prohibits representing oneself as an emergency medical responder without valid certification, with violations classified as a misdemeanor subject to administrative penalties

Extends to EMRs the same workplace protections, legal immunities, and benefits currently available to emergency medical technicians, including authority to administer auto-injectable epinephrine and opioid antagonists

Adds EMRs to definitions of "first responder" and "emergency response employee" across multiple Nevada statutes, enabling eligibility for workers' compensation stress claims, communicable disease testing petitions, and enhanced criminal penalties when victimized

Requires training programs for EMR certification to follow U.S. Department of Transportation national standards, with certificates valid for up to 2 years and renewable upon meeting continuing education requirements effective January 1, 2026
