Volunteer emergency medical technician fingerprinting costs would become eligible for repayment

The training fund would make fingerprinting costs eligible for repayment when people seek or renew volunteer emergency medical technician certification. Covered volunteers provide basic emergency care without pay. Full-time hospital emergency medical technicians are excluded. Payments would go to certified private training providers, within available fund money, for costs not otherwise repaid. Providers would need to submit a qualifying application. This change would take effect immediately if the bill becomes law.
