§ 26:2k-65.

a. The Commissioner of Health shall establish written standards which a person shall successfully complete in order

to be certified as an EMT . b. A person who possesses a current EMT certification in good standing from another

state, territory, or possession of the United States, the District of Columbia, or

the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico may obtain an EMT certification from the commissioner

to provide basic life support and may make application therefor on forms prescribed

by the commissioner. c. The commissioner shall make a determination regarding applications of candidates

for certification as an EMT within 30 days of the receipt of a complete application

and background check. The determination may provide that the commissioner requires more time to adequately

review the application. An application may be denied if the application is incomplete, contains false or

fraudulent information, or the applicant has been suspended or revoked in any other

state or jurisdiction or would otherwise be ineligible for EMT certification, as determined

by the commissioner. The commissioner shall approve an application upon determining that the certification

standards of the applicant's certifying jurisdiction exceed or are equivalent to the

EMT certification standards established by the commissioner and the applicant is not

disqualified pursuant to P.L.2023, c. 229 ( C.26:2K-65.1 et al.). d. Applicants for EMT certification, who have equivalent military training or experience in any branch

of the active duty or reserve component of the Armed Forces of the United States or

the National Guard of any state, shall be certified by the commissioner if the commissioner

determines that the applicant's military training and experience exceed or are equivalent

to the certification standards established by the commissioner.
