2. Rule Set Information  
MOAHR assigned rule set number:  
2020-81 HS  
Title of proposed rule set:  
EMS Personnel Licensing and Education  
3. Purpose for the proposed rules and background:  
The rules address the licensing requirements and education standards for emergency medical services  
(EMS) personnel. Since the introduction of these rules in 2004, there has not been a review of the  
rules to keep up with the changes that have occurred within the EMS system since that time. There  
were redundancies in some of the rules, and other advances in evidence-based EMS practice that have  
been implemented as a result of the previous rules set that needed additional clarification or  
modifications, for example the changes in technology that have occurred since 2004. The titles of  
personnel licenses were adjusted to meet national scope of practice language. The new rules clarify  
the complaint and compliance processes for the EMS system. We also aligned continuing education  
requirements with the National Registry of Emergency Medical Technician (NREMT) process.  
4. Summary of proposed rules:  
The general purpose of the EMS Personnel Licensing rules addresses the licensing requirements and  
education standards for emergency medical services (EMS) personnel. The titles of personnel licenses  
were adjusted to meet national scope of practice language. The new rules clarify the complaint and  
compliance processes for the EMS system. The rules also align continuing education requirements
