RE: [NEMSMA List Serv] Not Good News for EMS

[Guest guest]

Absolutely ...

BUT, it is nice to see Texas leading the way on this one. It is rare

that we do that...

The legislation referenced in this article did not pass...but it was

combined with a broader based bill that did pass that will prevent

several felons from becoming or remaining EMS certified. This new

legislation in Texas will prevent a long list of felons from becoming

certified as well as all registered sex offenders.

The last piece this legislation will do (those from out of Texas please

don't laugh) but it gives our Department of Health the ability to

determine if someone can be certified based upon their background BEFORE

they enroll in an EMS education course (EMT, EMT-P, etc) instead of

waiting until after they complete the course.

I do agree however, there is no good way to interpret this article...

Oh, did it mention the fact that legislature deemed it that no form of

rehab, even from burglary, ever works so they can't work here. Calling, I

HOP, do you need a dishwasher. I must get back on my meds.
