In separate letters to the California Senate, Assembly and Governor's office, NAEMT expressed opposition to California Legislature bill, AB 2293, which would amend Health and Safety Code Section 1798.200 to permit convicted felons, except when convicted of rape or murder, to obtain an EMT-I or EMT-II license. The bill also severely restricts the ability of the CA Emergency Medical Service Authority and local EMS agencies to protect the public health and safety by denying licenses to applicants or imposing disciplinary action against EMT-ls or EMT-lls.
