This bill is no longer active — its legislative session has ended, so there is no live prognosis. It would have to be reintroduced in the current session to move again.

Plain-language change summary

The latest version of HB 2437 has removed a section related to establishing an Emergency Medical Services (EMS) licensure interstate compact. This compact aimed to allow EMS personnel, such as EMTs and paramedics, to work across state lines more easily while ensuring they meet competency standards. By removing this section, the bill has shifted focus away from facilitating interstate cooperation among EMS professionals, which could impact the availability of qualified emergency responders during critical situations.
